DisplayPort might be cheap, as it's royalty free, but one has to buy a cable dongle to convert it, as displays rarely feature a DisplayPort.

None of my business monitors, TV nor projectors have DisplayPort, but every notebook, discrete graphic card came with a DisplayPort - so they first thing is to buy another dongle to convert DisplayPort to HDMI or DVI.

I have two monitors and a TV with DisplayPort, personal anecdotes/small sample doesn't count for much, usually.

Except you only need a passive cable because display port supports both HDMI 1.4 and single link DVI.
