Sort of, not really. HDMI is a flat $10k a year in licensing.
The problem with Displayport is that the chips to render it are more expensive unless you built your monitor for direct drive. That would be great if every display was designed with the same subpixel specs, but no 2 manufacturers have the same specs for their displays so this doesn't work.
What happens is most DisplayPort displays convert the image and then render it which is also how you allow for brightness, contrast and sharpness adjustments on the display rather than on the device connected to the display.
If you used direct drive you'd control brightness and contrast on your Xbox, bluray, or computer rather than on the display.
