To reduce the number of cables, in theory, though as noted it's not really implemented.

I think the idea was that you, for example, plug your console to the TV with HDMI and it would pass through Ethernet as well.

"Or, buy 4K a monitor..."

It's 1/4 the area, minus all features, AND the same price!? 8-/

It's a great option, for dell shareholders...

Pins 14 and 19, but HEC was never adopted and they ended up getting used for ARC/eARC instead.
