I'm not saying it's good, but all I see on modern laptops is USB-C ports.

Which, incidentally, can carry displayport.

And very few carry HDMI, because for some strange odd reason hdmi alt-mode is weirdly rare still....

It's almost like companies don't want to pay extra money on every device for a feature the vast majority of consumers would never use... good thing DisplayPort is free, or we'd get neither.

Yeah, my laptop has a USB-C port with DisplayPort support. And it supports up to 4K @ 60fps where the HDMI port only supports up to 4K @ 24 fps. HDMI can suck dick.
