Ship a high quality DP adapter with each onr 😂
The communication protocols are just different enough that an adapter won't work.
The adapters have circuity inside, they exist. It's small enough to still just look like a cable because they fit the chip in a plug end.

DP has an option to transmit HDMI signals instead, this is what passive adapters use and will still have the same HDMI 2.0 issue. A DP source can be passively adapted to HDMI, but a HDMI source cannot be passively adapted to DP.
You can also get active HDMI adapters which actively convert the signal, and can work with HDMI 2.1. Intel actually has an active converter chip built into their ARC GPUs, and is how they get around this issue.
What a bummer. I guess TIL that i, in fact, don't use one literally every single day.
Is it 2.1? Does it transmit cec commands? No? Strange...
It's almost like we are commenting under a post that is saying exactly that.
I'm an idiot and i apologize.
¡Yo tambien!
