It already happened to them multiple times that’s why we are on HDMI 2.2 which can go up to:

7680 × 4320 @ 60FPS

HDMI 1.0 could only reach:

1920x1080 @ 60FPS

The only reason it still works is because they keep changing the specifications.

Maybe, but I could see thunderbolt replacing HDMI and display port over time. It can carry video, audio, data, and power simultaneously, and has more bandwidth for additional information like HDR or 3D.

  But can it spy on users for marketing purposes? That’s the real question.

  USB can do that as well, using Displayport alt mode. And it doesn’t need Intel’s fees.
  
  Also, 3D. LOL

    Same cable, same port, I don’t really care what it’s called if the capabilities are the same.

    It’s REALLY important for adoption. An open standard is far more likely to be used.

I can see more than 8k being useful but not really for home use. Except possibly different form factors like VR, not sure on that one either though.

  Na, when you go any higher in commercial use you just use multiple cables, HDMI 2.2 can only reach 10ft as it is if you lower the bandwidth it can go farther, I could see a optical video standard for commercial use though.
