If you wanted to have quick insert connection you could just not tighten the screws. I almost never tightened the screws, but it was good on monitors which were pivoting.
I am writing this on a screen where the HDMI connector pops out if a even touch it.
- JohnFen 3y agoHonestly, I have never tightened those screws.
- kalium-xyz 3y agoJust tighten one of them, its what i do half the time
- xvilka 3y agoAnd other half of the time you tighten another?
- kalium-xyz 3y agoYes :P. I’m a coward and never put it in without tightening at least one or both
- IYasha 3y agoI drilled two holes in my laptop as it had no room for VGA cable screws :D (about 2y ago)

The only downside of DisplayPort over VGA is that it's up to the connector model if it locks, not user input; but other than that DisplayPort seems clearly superior over VGA. Apart from the obvious signal improvements, slightly more compact design and the recessed port, even an non-locking cable sits far more securely than an unsecured VGA cable.
- neuromanser 3y agoIf I had to choose between a disconnection and damaged circuitry… I managed to pull too strongly on a DisplayPort cable plugged into monitor, resulting in broken PCB. Luckily, the HDMI wasn't affected.
