Y'all gotta play around with @foone 's https://deathgenerator.com
@dankeykang is it actually royalty free? I've heard people dispute that
@polly Seems a little murky depending on what you read. This is what I found on Wikipedia - there doesn't seem to be any explicit royalties, but access to the standard's specifications through VESA requires a membership.
AFAIK that's still a much better deal for vendors than what's required with HDMI.

@dankeykang@hachyderm.io @foone@digipres.club And no weird limitations because they are against open source.
@dankeykang@hachyderm.io @foone@digipres.club I will never get over that. 
@Legion495 @foone Honestly, one of the last things keeping my main gaming rig booting Windows (smartn't TV without DisplayPort)
@dankeykang@hachyderm.io @foone@digipres.club
That is just :aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa:
@dankeykang @foone But it's so hard to unplug 
@jackemled @foone
Assuming you're talking about the latches in some cables, they are an optional part of the spec. If you have the resources, you may be able to find and purchase replacement DP cables without latches!
I personally prefer them because my cable spaghetti can cause things to come undone on their own. 
@dankeykang @foone I have to unplug them alot & it's extremely difficult to do without damaging the port, the plug, or other parts of the monitor. I've never seen DisplayPort cables that don't have a latch.
@jackemled @foone That's fair. It sucks your experience hasn't been so great.
