Really? I've had more trouble with DisplayPort since I keep forgetting about the locking feature and bust the jacket off.

I honestly prefer HDMI cables, but I hate the closed nature of the HDMI standard.

I have genuinely never had a HDMI or DP cable break on me, guess I'm lucky 🤷‍♀️

I think I've had one HDMI connector get bent out of shape, and I've broken 2 or 3 DP cables due to the locking bit. And I've only been using DP for 5 years and have used HDMI for >10 (15?). The DP lock is solving a problem I've never had, while creating one I never considered to be an issue.

So I honestly prefer HDMI in general, and I'd have no reason to care about DP if HDMI standards people weren't such thugs. But alas, DP has basically won the PC, so I guess I'll get used to the clip.

You can get DP cables without the lock

They make display port cables without the locking feature. I don't have a link unfortunately but I have a few in my box of cables that I'm definitely going to use one day

Cool! Maybe I'll get some next time I break one.

I don't remember the last time I had a cable come out on accident, but I have definitely broken multiple DP jackets and getting those unlatched without looking is way too frustrating (way more annoying than guessing the orientation of the HDMI cable wrong).

DP has a "locking" feature? What's that?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It "clicks" when inserted, and you have to have really small fingers, do magic and wiggle at the same time to get the damn cable out without ripping some hardware out.

It's a big strong head too, no need for these click teeth IMO.

There is!

I purchased my wife a brand new expensive oled monitor for Christmas.

She opened it and set it up, but the stand hung over the edge a little bit.

Unfortunately, I have a sit/stand desk which is back to back with her desk.

I raised my desk the next day and my desk caught her monitor stand and flipped the monitor.

The only reason it didn’t crash into the floor is the DP cable teeth held onto the monitor.

The cable was ruined, but I’ll always defend those teeth!
