DP has a "locking" feature? What's that?

[–] Valmond 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It "clicks" when inserted, and you have to have really small fingers, do magic and wiggle at the same time to get the damn cable out without ripping some hardware out.

It's a big strong head too, no need for these click teeth IMO.

There is!

I purchased my wife a brand new expensive oled monitor for Christmas.

She opened it and set it up, but the stand hung over the edge a little bit.

Unfortunately, I have a sit/stand desk which is back to back with her desk.

I raised my desk the next day and my desk caught her monitor stand and flipped the monitor.

The only reason it didn’t crash into the floor is the DP cable teeth held onto the monitor.

The cable was ruined, but I’ll always defend those teeth!
