DP is royalty free. Why are they looking for “yet another standard”

Right where my mind went

Power delivery with higher bandwidth than USB?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

DP doesn't do power delivery and DP over thunderbolt doesn't deliver enough power for a display alone.

That last one isn’t entirely true. I have a portable monitor that does DP-Alt over USB-C and it is powered and driven via a single cable.

Small displays can be powered over thunderbolt but full features full sized displays cannot.
