why does linus hate HDMI?

[Coltaine]

Why not just link this?  http://bit.ly/1eeF6RH

Because it's 2 hours 14 minutes? I mean if you're going to link that you should at least provide a timestamp. Although it is kinda watcheable at 1.5x speed, so I guess you save about 45 minutes by doing that.

Displayport does not have a locking connector.

Yes it does.

This would actually make for a good 'Fast As Possible' guide.

@LinusTech Pretty please? Explain the differences between DP, MiniDP, HDMI, Mini HDMI, VGA, and DVI-I/DVI-D.

[VSG]

Yes it does.

 

Not the standard itself, regular displayport usually has that as seen in the picture but consider mini-display port as an exception for example.

Monitors don't use mini-DP nor do they use mini-HDMI.

Graphics cards do though

Yes especially with some good info on the variations of DVI and the correct usage of active and passive adapters and I am sure you will have a really popular guide.

I'm just gonna say this, you can never change your profile pic. Ever. I like it.

I don't get why he hates VGA either, it works.

because it is weak, like little baby man

No???- it links to the timestamp. must be broken for you because i linked it to the correct time.

 

here's the link to the time stamp if you're that lazy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe0FhacqEj0&feature=youtu.be&t=1h44m41s

it wants to embed it without the timestamp so i had to break the url for you.

Didn't we just have a thread like this three days ago? 

 

It seems like this topic keeps reoccurring, are people so into tech that they fanboy over connectors?

Right back at ya

Exactly why a guide would be excellent.

I can do that too:

Yes.

[VSG]

lol yes, randomly posting a GPU with DP outputs doesn't mean anything.

[flibberdipper]

Aww, thanks. I never really plan to.

[MatheusSanzo]

It's probably for the same reason that the earth is spherical.

[flibberdipper]

Fine then.

 

[Arshdeep]

You have not seen how thick, yet rather short my DVI single is.

Mini-DP monitor right here: http://www.dell.com/ed/business/p/dell-u2413/pd

What was the point of posting this? I was simply stating that display port as a standard need not have locking connectors and then it somehow escalated to pictures of GPU display outputs lol

 

As far as VGA goes, I find it useful for work- you guys clearly have not experienced enough projectors in the business world yet. The more presentations needed, the more useful VGA is as a dedicated port on a laptop. For desktops and monitors, VGA-based CRT monitors still have some excellent characteristics that LCD panels can't match yet- input lag and refresh rates for example.

[DaftBehemoth]

The lack of bandwidth compared to Displayport and the fact that it costs more to use HDMI than Displayport (since DP isn't restricted by a trade mark).

I know. Just wanted to end the DP madness with HDMI.

its from the 80's and old 

[DrVendetta]

Display port-Royalty free, supports 4k 60fps, locking connector I believe, easily converted. It's the best connection by far imo. Other than it's need to be adopted by the mainstream.
