How is it better than HDMI? Genuinely curious

>>59493646
That clippy thing can be annoying, if someone tugs on the cable too hard the whole thing can be ripped apart.

>>59493791
Something about more picture datas per time unit running through the cable

>>59493791
No built in DRM, higher resolution support on earlier revisions, and really novel features like daisy chain support for large arrays of monitors.

>>59493791
something about supporting higher resolutions more fps but i think newer HDMI revisions compete

>>59493655
Useless if most monitors don't

>>59493863
100 dollar monitors don't need the features DP has... why would they include a port that 90% of commonplace users will ignore?

>>59493646
Nothing. It's a good standard.

daily reminder that DisplayPort has cable versions, do you use DP 1.4 on your graphic card? You need a DP 1.4 cable

Hello there! You seem to have used the term "open source".
The term "open source" was created by a group of people that did not want to be associated with the free software movement. When I say "free" software (which is one of the alternatives preferable to "open source"). It's not about price; in that case I would say "gratis", or "free as in free beer". It's about "freedom"! This is what the free software movement is fighting for.
So what is "free" software? Free software is any software that guarantees the user the four essential software freedoms:
> 0. Run the program as you wish.
> 1. Study the source code and change it so it does what you wish.
> 2. Redistribute exact copies of the program.
> 3. Distribute your modified version of the program.
Some people decided that they wanted to restrict the user; but being able to study and modify the "open source" code is not enough! This is directly hurting the cause of the free software movement because it takes away the sociological "freedom" aspect of free software and turns it into a technological one.
So for those reasons I ask that in the future you use the terms "free", "free/libre" or, if necessary "FLOSS" (short for "free/libre and open source"), though the latter should still be avoided.

>>59493646

Nothing went wrong, i'm using it right now

HDMI has HD in the name.
DisplayPort is abbreviated as DP. Go figure.

>>59494330
Because 5 connectors are so much simpler than a single connector, right?

>>59493646

The fact it rearranges my desktop if I turn one off.

It's sad that there are almost no tvs with dp, just like any tv doesn't have gb ethernet port in 2017.
Guessing it's the lack of built-in drm that scare off big companies to include this option.

>>59494983
it never caught on because they can't licence it/enforce drm.

>>59494990
Still more expensive than TP. I'm not sure how much more annoying soldering (or crimping) coax connectors is compared to flat ones but I'd imagine it requires slightly more complex machinery, increasing production cost and chance of errors.

>>59495021
you need wire strippers and a crimping tool.
i work with a guy who's fulltime job is building sdi/land cables and patching racks.
takes him about 10 seconds to crimp a bnc connector.
you're 20 times more likely to fuck up a DP/hdmi cable than an sdi cable

DP problem is that it tried to be HDMI and PC monitor interface at the same time failing at both fields. At the time it was launched it was already obsolete. Right now it does nothing more than HDMI 2.0 the standard it have to change. If you create video standard TODAY it have to push 12k at 60hz and 8k at 144hz just to be relevant in the next 10 years.

Literally the only problem with DP. Actually, I don't like how thick the cables are - I have an HDMI cable that's about as thick as a 3.5mm audio cable. Flexible, small, super easy to route, easy to hide. My DP cable feels more like a coax cable tv cable; tough and hard to flex.

Cable aside, it's objectively superior to HDMI. Higher resolution, free-sync, actually supports 144Hz.

I guess they somehow got rid off it by Amazon?

HDMI feels to me like RCA and Displayport feels like BNC. They both are capable of transmitting the same signal, but because BNC is used more by people higher than consumers, it feels like BNC feels like it's better,and the locking mechanism feels cool.

Two years ago I had never even heard of DisplayPort.

Now all the workstations in my office are using DP connected monitors, the GPU in my home PC has 3 DP ports and 1 HDMI.

>>59494040

Absolutely incorrect. Please refer directly to DisplayPorts website.

>>59493646
The DisplayPort on my 2560x1440 144hz monitor causes it to not wake from sleep after my computer hibernates.

What went wrong for the DisplayPort? Depends on your point of view. Nothing went wrong if you are a man of the people. Everything went wrong if you are a authoritarian globalist.

Nothing went wrong. My video card has three DisplayPort ports — https://pcpartpicker.com/product/63yxFT/evga-video-card-08gp46183 And my monitor has a DisplayPort for gorgeous 144hz video that neither HDMI nor DVI can provide as they are capped at 60hz — https://pcpartpicker.com/product/rkphP6/asus-monitor-vg248qe And I had to pay a mere $12 for a DisplayPort cable — https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IU1R29I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

>>59493646
Blu-ray and content companies demand encryption over the wire to magically stop pirates somehow. HDMI has it, display port doesn't. Pirates still pirating just fine anyway.

>>59494509
There are two types of adapters.
Passive and active.

Passive = you have a dual mode DisplayPort output and you just need a different plug and rewiring
