| 15:56 | | * abudhabi_ learns that old DP is better than old HDMI. |
| 16:00 | < abudhabi_> | I'm looking to perhaps upgrade my VGA-based KVM, and the HDMI ones I've seen have been rather lackluster. The cheap stuff is actually a downgrade compared to the relatively high-end VGA gizmo I have. The expensive stuff available is limited to like 30Hz at resolutions exceeding VGA capabilities. |
| 16:01 | < abudhabi_> | Both HDMI and DP can apparently carry audio, unlike VGA, so that would save actually quite a bit of cabling. |
| 16:02 | < abudhabi_> | Especially since one of the laptops has a broken jack port, necessitating a USB sound card for it, and I also need to use circuit separators to get rid of buzzing due to the whole thing being a spider's web. |

| 17:50 | < abudhabi_> | The prices for the (nominal) good stuff are rather incredible. |
| 17:51 | < abudhabi_> | I could pay, but I can't really justify it for getting a bit fewer cables and a bit more resolution. |

| 21:47 | <&Reiver> | DP is indeed built to be 'better' than HDMI |
| 21:47 | <&Reiver> | You'll find the prices are for a niche low-demand item that is usually bought on corporate accounts so price was shrugged at; a bummer for the canny consumer. |

| 21:52 | < abudhabi_> | Hm. Perhaps there's a used market. |

| 22:36 | | * McMartin notes in passing that HDMI carrying audio was one of the things that prompted him to upgrade most of his work desk. |
| 22:37 | <&McMartin> | IIRC HDMI-without-audio is electrically identical to DVI. |
| 22:40 | < Mahal> | I wouldn't be replacing a KVM in today's world, honestly |
| 22:40 | < Mahal> | the current market for desktop stuff is USB-C hubs for _everything_, there just ... isn't? a KVM equivalent being produced in 'modern' tech |
| 22:40 | < Mahal> | And when they _do_ exist hoo_boy_ the pricetag |
