HDMI 2.2 will require new “Ultra96” cables, whenever we have 8K TVs and content (arstechnica.com)

A lot of laptops nowadays output video over usb c, in most cases they use DisplayPort alt mode, which as the name implies is just DisplayPort.

That doesn’t solve the issue of every x in 1 dongle only having HDMI or TVs only having HDMI inputs

I hear ya.

But for example do modern set top boxes, blue ray etc. have DP?

Give it a few years and most people won't have those devices anymore. Hell, we might already be there. If sony wasnt a founder of HDMI, TVs everywhere would probably use DP already
