Why DisplayPort Is Still Better Than HDMI
The VGA connector is the best connector since it's DRM free. DP, HDMI, and DVI all support HDCP DRM.
TLDW?
On a <5 minute video?
DP has embedded, can be carried over USB-C, allowing for everything to be handled over a single cable, is handled on connector instead of device-internal interface allowing for smaller/thinner devices, DP daisy-chaining, licensing/royalty differences, etc.
Yes, because five seconds is less than five minutes.
One reason I loathe DP is how it's handling monitor presence in system when you power of monitor or switch input to 2nd port, it's equivalent of unhooking monitor from pc which screws up desktop layout in most cases. with one monitor it's not a problem but in multimonitor setup windows and task bars start jumping all over the place...
That's not really an issue with DP itself, but with the operating system handling unplugging, if you allow me to be pedantic.
How would you want that to be handled? The monitor is removed from the system. Do you want a phantom monitor to remain in place, with applications and desktop, no longer accessible?

We’re going to use DisplayPort! The best video connection interface!
Why is half the info on the image some random smiling face?
Because it's YouTube
It’s been super clearly demonstrated that you have to have thumbnails like that for your videos to be successful on YouTube.
You can be annoyed by it, and in fact, a ton of creators hate it. But it’s really not the creators’ fault that they have to do this.
Ah, so it's a prisoner's dilemma, kinda thing.
uhm ... USB-C?
If I use display port for 2 monitors, when my system sleeps, all of the windows forget where they've been placed and I have to move each one back into position. 2x HDMI doesn't have that issue. Until that changes, display port is unusable for me.
I have a similar issue that when my monitors connected by display port are put to sleep, the computer treats it like they have been disconnected completely - and hence all my windows get shoved around.
This is with a laptop with its screen option, hooked up to a DP monitor by USB C adapter.
I would love to switch to DP but this prevents me.
This is a windows bug. Are you still on win10? It's fixed in 11.

Well I'll be. Yes, I'm still on Windows 10. I suppose now I have a reason to consider updating.
It's mind-boggling to me that this hasn't been fixed (in Windows, I assume?), people have been complaining for years.
It's not inherent to DisplayPort though. Some monitors that suffer from this issue can disable "deep sleep" and have the issue gone even with DisplayPort, but not all monitors allow turning it off.
(And others yet, like my old Acer XB271HU, doesn't have the issue to begin with.)
Works on Linux (gnome)
Never had that issue with DP. Your setup might be the problem.
