Currently ethernet doesn't look cheap enough for video to me.

Even a simple 1920x1080 60Hz monitor needs 3 Gb/s, a 2560*1440 144Hz monitor 13 Gb/s, a 4k 60Hz 12 Gb/s.

DisplayPort 1.2 offers 17 Gb/s and DisplayPort 1.3 offers 26 Gb/s.

40 Gbps and 100 Gbps Ethernet standard was defined in 2010 [1]. Google "buy 100 Gbps Ethernet" and you will find it is real, although currently is geared primarily for datacenters.
