Why do display port cable connectors have these stupid latches with a crappy button that will, even when the button is fully depresses, still stick out so that removing the connector nis always a draaaagggg…
Yeah, HDMI licensing sucks but at least you can plug and disconnect HDMI in a normal way. Dispkay port is the worst
I do like the hooks on Display Port, honestly. There were quite a few times where HDMI cables came loose while adjusting my screen due to the cable being tied together with other cables for organisational purposes. Putting it back in always a chore then.
I don’t think it is even much of a hassle when unplugging it from a machine, such as a PC. I do agree it’s a pain for monitors however, as the ports usually are in a more indented position.

You can buy cables without the latches on them, though idk if theyre technically to spec
That’s how my display port cable came with my monitor
This thread has me trippin out, I have 3 display port monitors and none of them have that latch.
Me too. I’ve never had one with a latch before!
Oh thank whatever god you believe in, that is such a blessing
I once bought a displayport to HDMI converter, plugged it in, and I could never unplug it anmore, so I just got another HDMI monitor for it
But have you considered that the DisplayPort shape looks kinda sexy
