I go to investigate, and they had managed to plug the HDMI cable of one monitor into the other monitor.

Yes, HDMI over cat5e is definitely a thing. As is Ethernet over HDMI, but as far as I know literally no retailer sells those.

I bought HDMI cables that support ethernet years ago from Amazon’s store brand.

And were you able to use that functionality?

[–] bestboyfriendintheworld@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

None of my devices support it.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Right. Because as far as I know, no retailer sells that equipment.

It would de really convenient to network all the devices connected to my A/V receiver.
