What's so great about displayport anyways? I've heard a lot of talk about it lately. I only used VGA and DVI after composite, saving my consoles which were HDMI, so I've never had any interactions with it. I hear it's required for the new sync stuff on the monitors? Haven't changed mine since 2010 or so.

It's free as in freedom.
>>55037074
So are most ports not found on apple devices though.
>>55037057
High bandwidth without the latency of HDMI, daisy-chaining, etc.

HDMI isn't free.
it's literally the best at EVERYTHING
>>55037175
in what way?
>>55037206
It costs a buck o' five.
>>55037206
In that you have to pay royalties to implement it.

How is it better than DVI?

Displayport is HDMI without the patents for the most part.

You must have a shitty monitor/OS/GPU/whatever, this doesn't happen to me.

If I had a multimonitor setup this is something I wouldn't be able to tolerate.
Dp 1.4 confirmed for 4k 120hz

>doesn't realize HDMI is made by TV manufacturers for the sole purpose of trying to fuck the user and prevent stupid shit like recording of content that you shouldn't be recording
DP can also do everything HDMI can and even more so. HDMI is literally only alive because of who's on the board for it.
Any of you /g/ents have some 4k monitor or tv recommendations that use display port. I'm looking for 39"+

Dual link DVI maxes out at 4k@33hz
>>55037411
Phillips BDM4065UC , but it looks like the price has hiked to hell.
It's hard to find a 39" + 4k that has DP 1.3, which is what you need for 60hz @ 4k and is a must as 30hz is just not bearable.
>>55037265
Why not put it into standby? Most new monitors have very low power usage on standby these days.
>>55037383
Sounds like it's on a mission from God.
>>55037612
280+ will be end goal sir.
>>55037635
Are there even lower res monitors with that hz yet?
