They specifically mention 3 distinct DP connectors - standard, mini, USB-C - plus a bunch of Apple versions of them. That's NOT a feature and is exactly why I prefer HDMI. I don't care about most DP capabilities, I just want to plug in my stuff and have it work. I use 55" 4k TV for a monitor and it works, even with the open source AMD driver. I saw nothing in TFA to make me think DP would benefit me, even if some technical details are better.


But, HDMI has multiple connectors too.

HDMI, Mini HDMI, Micro HDMI, USB HDMI Alt-mode and there are also some less popular ones.
