The white port is DVI. Don't mind the blue cable, just a random image on internet

Hdmi 2.0. dual link dvi or display port if u have one.

monitor does not have a display port. hdmi 2.0 would work too but I like the fact you can secure dvi with screws

its true hdmi never has any locking mechanism. but its not really an issue for me cause my monitor just stand there all day.

Your monitor must get tired if it stands all day
