they look a lot like mini displayport

they are literally mini displayport, just with some extra contacts somewhere

on that note, there is literally no reason ever to use full size displayport since mini displayport is a better port without any disadvantages

Neither my computer nor monitor have "mini displayport", but they both have full size displayport, the professional standard. You're wrong.

full size displayport connectors come with those stupid hooks on the back indicative of a shoddy connector (somehow still less horrible than any sort of hdmi though)

mini displayport works fine without stupid hooks

therefore mdp > dp

by the way dell is doing it right: their monitors include a cable with mdp on one and and normal dp on the other, so you can connect to either mdp or normal dp devices

oh, my, god. Becky, look at her bitrate.
The only thing worse than the clips on the back of a cable, is if it had those screw-in things.

I can see this being useful for industrial applications or something, where you need to guarantee a cable never wiggles loose over time, but that's it.
