Maximum bandwidth is higher -> supports higher resolution panels today
Timing margins are larger -> better data recovery
Inter-pair skew tolerance is larger (equal to a bit time)
Intra-pair skew tolerance is larger (% of a bit time)
Lower frequency circuitry on chip:
promotes integration
less high frequency EMI

LDI minimizes transitions during blanking
LDI has no encoding overhead
