    Running that much power next to a data line sounds like a terrible idea for signal integrity, especially if something shorts to said data lines. It just sounds sketchy or filled with so many asterisks that it’s functional impossible to reach their claimed throughput.

      USB standard is up to what, 40Gbps and 240W? That’s pushing the envelope already. We’ll see if this new standard can prove itself, anyways.

    Even an 80” tv only uses around 150W, if my research is correct. Surely this must be thinking about massive displays.

      If you’re gonna release a new standard, may as well have the headroom for future growth so it’s not outdated too soon in the future.

    If it’s not usb-c it’s banned in EU. Because we stopped there and we won’t go forward.

      Please don’t make stuff up.

      Other stuff isn’t banned and the law already has allowances for emerging standards.

    This must be for commercial displays where it is beneficial for installation to have power and data over a single cable.

    I can’t think why I would want power delivery to my PC monitor over the display cable. It would just put extra thermal load on the GPU.

      I think it’s aimed at TVs in general, not computer monitors. Many people mount their TVs to the wall, and having a single cable to run hidden in the wall would be awesome.
