jantariWhy would it need DisplayPort? Res is capped at 1080P.
Even VGA can do 1080P, DIsplayPort is really designed for 4k and higher.
Which neither VGA, HDMI, nor DVI can support.

Solistica1. Because DisplayPort has no HDCP-like copy protection and handshake problems
2. Because most modern graphics cards only have 1 legacy HDMI output and 3 DisplayPorts, meaning you already can't run 2 of these in a dual-monitor setup, let alone triple.
3. Because throwing money away for more HDMI cables and monitors is wasted money like investing in HD-DVD. The monitor isn't future-proof.

jantariHad to come back for this...
-Talks about future proofing, yet topic is about a 1080p monitor.
-Complains about buying HDMI cables when they'll likely still be around for the next 15yrs.
Because HDMI > DP & DP > HDMI adapters don't exist?
-Compares HDMI cables to HD-DVD when HD-DVD was just two more RCA cables to begin with.
-HDMI has HDCP, gah, got me there, what's a world where you can't pirate your RedBox movies?
You say you don't want to buy a non-future proof supporting monitor, and then you specifically shop for monitors that vendors are intentionally not installing advanced unnecessary components in because 1080p is going out the window.
Not sure if you came for the monitor or just to complain.

Solistica> topic is about a 1080p monitor
1080p monitors make good vertical, auxilary monitors. they're also good for *nix systems which lack proper scaling and high-dpi support
> Complains about buying HDMI cable when they'll likely still be around for the next 15 yrs
Not in my household, the rest is of no interest to me
> Because HDMI > DP & DP > HDMI adapters don't exist?
Wasting more money on HDMI accessories, yea right
> HD-DVD was just two more RCA cables
lmao HD-DVD was a disc format, not a cable
> HDMI has HDCP [...] redbox
I don't know what redbox is but I don't care to find out either - I want my monitors to work each and every time. HDCP handshake problems make that impossible.
> 1080p is going out the window
not for productivity. I prefer 1x high-dpi monitor in the middle flanked by 2 1080p vertical 9:16s over a single high-dpi 21:9. ymmv
