Displayport: A Better Video Interface

I really really hope that my LG has a DisplayPort input. They do offer a monitor that is the same size and I believe the same panel, but the price increase does not really justify it. So sad that I have to bear with the hell of DP/USBc to HDMI converters...

I just wish there was only one connector. Either HDMI or DP. I don't care.

It'll be the USB-C port.

It also allows the transmission of HDMI over USB-C, so you still have two competing standards

DisplayPort and HDMI's max length is 15m, compared to USB 3.1's 3m.

I personally prefer HDMI or DVI, I don't like DisplayPort because on the display that I have, when I turn off the display the computer detects it as if I've physically disconnected the display, which then moves all the windows that I had open around and breaks my macros...
