- mariusmg 11y agoHuh ? The DisplayPort protocol won't be replaced. USB Type-C just allows using the DP protocol with the USB connector. It'a just a alternative. Let's see how much time it takes for GPUs to remove DP ports ....
- RodrigoT 11y agoThe good thing about dedicated video connectors is that with simple checks (pin 5 and 7 in short circuit), you can detect and output via passive connector adapters. That's why a DP to VGA adapter is so cheap: is is the PC that is detecting and generating the VGA signal. (See DP++ for when you are missing pins)
