Then you have the graphics connector that I absolutely hate.
DMS-59
Look at the DVI-D Dual Link, that has 24 pins and a blade. DMS-59 uses the same size for the connector, but removes the blade and fits 59 tiny pins in the same space.
It then uses a heavy and bulky splitter cable that puts strain on the connector. The splitter is then connected to two DVI or VGA connectors, adding even more weight and strain on the DMS-59 connector.
It is an idiotic standard and made my love for DP grow strong. Especially once I learned about MST.
Hooray for standards!
I hated DVI more than I hated VGA, somehow a pin will eventually bend.
You haven’t known hate for a display connector until you have experienced the DMS-59:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMS-59
Same size as a DVI connector, double the ammount of pins, with twice or thrice the weight hanging off the end
I remember that bastard.
Remember, I have seen those things out in wild as recently as 5 years ago.
I have seen this weeks ago.
And I have seen one active DisplayPort to DVI adapter with an additional USB A cable to power it.

I love DP
To bring it back to display connection standards, I’m personally a big fan of DisplayPort

DVI-I cord with a DVI-D computer? Absolutely not. It’s got these 4 extra pins that you’ll ruin if you try.
