How is this better than VGA again?

• user5994461 7y ago
  VGA caps at 2048 pixel wide if we are to believe a quick google search and the fidelity of the image may vary depending on the cable and graphic card in use.

  It supports multiple 4k screens over one cable.

  VGA has the downsides of the analog signal, like ringing and smearing when you have a higher resolution running over a long cable. DVI ended up being kind of a mess with the different connector types and ultimately fairly limited digital bandwidth. Displayport is pretty good except everything Displayport costs 50% more than it should.

    DisplayPort also seems to randomly stop working, requiring unplugging/replugging the USB to reset it. Occasionally I'll even boot up one morning to find it's not working at all and something or other needs to be reinstalled.
