I just wanted to say fuck these things. Did we really need another standard? HDMI wasn't enough? Thanks to these pieces of shit I can't hook up my laptop to monitors anymore. Paradoxically, new monitors have a port for this bullshit and also for VGA! What the fuck? So HDMI is "old and outdated" but ancient-ass shit like VGA isn't? My laptop has VGA and HDMI ports, but I'm not in the habit of carrying a VGA cable around and it seems every monitor is equipped only with these goddamn DisplayPort cables!

Nice blog

These are way better than hdmi though. They are
-open standard
-daisy chainable
-supported through usb
No drm
Generally support better resolutions first
Jaxson Martin
user what kind of fucking monitor did you manage to buy that doesn't have a damn HDMI port
you're delusional, i see more monitors with HDMI ports than i see monitors with displayport/VGA ports
Caleb Young
>-supported through usb
What? I have yet to see one of these shits fit in my USB ports.
Cooper Diaz
Displayport is butter to HDMI's margarine.
Camden Morales
I'm not sure if this is the right model but it's a "Dell RevA00". In offices I see monitors only having these cables.
Christian Russell
why do you keep referring to it like it's a new standard and hdmi is an old one
they're basically the same age and dp only loses relevance as time keeps going on
Angel Rivera
Youre absolutely retarded, thunderbolt 3 which uses usb c ports has the displayport standard built in
Maybe its because of "" display link""
Isaac Richardson
I can't understand what the fuck you're saying. Rephrase.

>royalty free
>higher refresh rates on 4k
>chainable between devices
HDMI is garbage, amount of times HDCP has just not paired the 2 devices is ridiculous.
All you can do is turn everything on and off 50 times
Ethan Clark
That doesn't solve my problem, sperg. My inputs are eSATA/USB, HDMI, SS USB and VGA.
Brody Peterson
For which part of my post?
Do you mean outputs? Because if you have a monitor with esata lol. Hdmi to dp cables are pretty cheap but i get you.
Jackson Rivera
Laptop has esata.
Looks like the best option for me is to buy a VGA cable, since those seem to be universally supported. I don't give a fuck about no """features""".
Dominic Baker
Nah if youre buying a cable dp to hdmi for sound my man. Esata is a comedy port. Im suprised thats not your complaint desu.
Also you highlight a valid issue with a lot of hardware: they choose hdmi and dont add dp which is the standard we need to support going forward. Even mdp would be g

And why can't you?
What it appears, is that you are a child throwing a tantrum because you need to buy a new cable, or something of the such. There are numerous advantages to DisplayPort, as others have linked in the thread, and literally no downside outside of you needing to beg your mom to buy you a DP cable.
VGA was fantastic for it's time (outside of shitty, unshielded cables) but can it drive 4k at 144hz? Can it drive my 1080p display at 144hz with one cable? Is HDMI Royalty free? I'll take DP over any other cable any day of the week.
Nathaniel Phillips
If I have to use an HDMI to DP cable what the fuck will have been the point? What if the next peripheral doesn't support that?
>DP
How I feel after being subjected to this shit.
Alexander Bailey
Dp should be the standard going forward though, we're just in a period where theres competing standards. Be glad you dont have some retarded shit like mini and micro hdmi

They're not though. The first consumer HDMI products hit the market in 2003. The first DisplayPort ones weren't until 2008.

HDMI 2.1 is better than DisplayPort 1.4 now though, true 8K60FPS support
It's not until the next-gen DisplayPort that it will be better than HDMI again

Well at least we aint drm
Wyatt Wright
HDMI is useless, can't even handle 144hz 1080p, DP on the other hand doesn't even feel 150hz 1080p.
Liam Perez
You're an idiot.
I hope that wasn't too hard.
Jackson Gomez
>Thanks to these pieces of shit I can't hook up my laptop to monitors anymore
What so HDMI to DP/mDP cables/adapters don't exist? You can even push DP through USB now so what's your problem?
Ian Cook
Is this a joke
Jayden Perry
>display connected with dp goes to sleep
>windows reconfigures display setup like it was physically disconnected
The absolute state of dp
Carson Brown
HDMI 1.0/1.1 and 1.2 both don't have enough bandwidth for 1080p 144hz, minimum is HDMI 1.3/1.4 or HDMI 2.0/2.1
Displayport on the other hand supports 1080p 144hz even on the oldest DP 1.0 cables/ports
Luis Hughes
Muh dual link DVI can get 5 more Hz on my monitor than DP
Ian Johnson
DP 1.0 can output 8.64Gb/s
Dual link DVI can output 7.92Gb/s
DP 1.2 outputs 17.28Gb/s
DP 1.3 is 25.92Gb/s
So unless something fucky is going on with software, or your monitor/GPU is simply unable to fully meet the displayport specification, you should be getting more Hz using DP, than DVI.
Evan Moore
Fair point but comparing the modern standards tells a different story. Still dp forever, i bought a dp cable even when a hdmi would have worked.
Brody King
>HDMI to DP cable
As far as I know this isn't supported.
Grayson Richardson
Displayport only beat out HDMI to 1080p 144hz capability by about a month anyway.
DP 1.0 was ratified in April 2006
HDMI 1.3 in June 2006
And at the time, HDMI was more commonplace and already had a fair bit of market share. So DP 1.0 didn't even really hit market for another year or two in earnest.
Alexander Mitchell
Youve got me curious now, why not? Both are digital
Jeremiah Lewis
We have a shitton of those adapters at the office. Works just fine.
John Sanders
Yeah, such an adapter is the only way for my HD7850 to output 4k/60Hz to my TV through HDMI.
Kayden Bell
DP to HDMI can be done with a simple cable.
HDMI to DP requires a converter device built into the cable.
Think of it like this:
DP = SAS
HDMI = SATA

Get the fuck out you absolute moron.
