I was faintly surprised that my recent monitor purchase came with a displayport cable.

Didn't help connecting it to my Macbook, but still..

DisplayPort has been running the best PC high end monitors for a long while. HDMI OTOH has been in A/V land (DRM management).

Don't most monitors ship with DisplayPort cables? All of mine have. HDMI is more popular with TVs/home theater systems.

  • Outside of the ones built into laptops, all my "monitors" for the last decade have been TVs, just because they tend to be cheaper at a "price to size" level.

    None of them ever seem to have DisplayPort.
