    DVI? Yes, basically HDMI is DVI guarded by patent trolls. DisplayPort? No, it is packet-based.

      The only real benefit to HDMI over DVI is that it carries audio where DVI does not, which is why it’s used on so many TVs. I know DP can do audio too; so I’m not even going to touch on that. DVI however, can do dual-link, which IMO, makes it a much better video format regardless of any patent nonsense.
