Damn now I have to boycott an entire video connector.

    Me neither. I play at 1440p/120hz. Both cables can manage that resolution and frame rate.

    The only difference I get is when I use DisplayPort and leave my computer alone for 20 mins, the GPU goes to sleep and the monitor won’t display anything although I hear background apps/games running.

    Without changing any settings, using a HDMI cable solved that.

    HDMI it is.

      its starts i matter more when you do more exotic connections. display port is more friendly for merging it into another form factor, and between the two, the only one capable of tech like daisy chaining monitors.

      hdmi also requires a licensing fee to use, which technically add a cost to the end user.

      In a multi monitor set up, when a screen connected to display port goes to sleep my computer treats it like that screen was disconnected - meaning all my open applications get shoved from one screen to another. I’ve also used HDMI to avoid that.

        Ugh, so THAT’S why it happens? It’s quite irritating, and only rebooting seems to fix it.

      Even if HDMI manages the same framerate it will still have a higher latency.
