TCL, Hisense, Skyworth, Xiaomi etc. Chinese Manufacture has now likely passed the 50% marketshare. There are other manufacture that may not have interest in HDMI which means we could see most TV shipping to have GPMI.
Although the Table isn't accurate as USB4 should be able to do 80 Gbit/s symmetric connections or asymmetric connections supporting 120 Gbit/s in one direction and 40 Gbit/s in the other.
But the deeper, or higher overview of things isn't the standard itself. But Western or incumbent companies which rely on HDMI royalty are being challenged not on standard spec and implementation itself, but actual end product being defined by Chinese companies. It is one way to break free of those royalty when china operate at cut throat competition. It is also another note to the world saying these companies are too slow to innovate.
I just hope HDMI and Displyport will come up with something better.
God what a world it’d be if we could finally switch video to sdi/dp over usb-c. I’ve had hate for the overly complicated hdmi cable for so long and at this point wonder why it even sticks around, the usb-c type connector is so cheap it can be made with a board edge, can achieve great throughput and is more or less ubiquitous. Why are we still using a directional plug that usually requires a dongle, has poorly understood power/data delivery standards and the worst “micro” connector I’ve ever had to use(broke 2 cables even though the second was taped in place to prevent the breakage)
USB-C is just as bad as HDMI, there's like 15 types of USB-C cables and ports and no easy way to tell which is which visually unless the manufacture happened to mark them in some way.
USB-C is unreliable crap, mechanics-wise (as is micro-HDMI, that's true). Too small and bends easily, no positive retention, too sensitive to misalignment during insertion. Honestly the whole miniaturization thing has gone way too far.
it's funny because RF nerds figured that out years ago and we have great screw and jack connectors we could use for video protocols like SDI, but it doesn't look modern enough I guess. I would just say usb-c is a lesser evil of the two if you want a future where one could plug in a usb-powered tv stick and expect it to be able to output video while getting power and not needing one of those hideous cradles the amazon sticks do to power it and output signal
In another Chinese article, they mentioned using GPMI instead of what Samsung uses optic and power cable for a separate box. Basically they want to separate the Panel and the controller. You buy a Panel like a monitor, except it is powered by a devices using GPMI cable. That devices will have the TV processor, WiFI, RAM, Network, TV tuner etc.
I would imagine if this caught on Apple may want to get into this set top box business.

Is HDMI a consortium that defines it standard?

can you block network?
