This is yet another thing that reinforces my opinion that DisplayPort is superior to HDMI.

It is simply superior. Its cheaper to implement and license and cables are mostly futureproof.

Now if only monitor manufacturers would realize that I WANT MULTIPLE DISPLAYPORT INPUTS ON A SINGLE MONITOR! Finding monitors with multiple HDMI inputs is easy, while finding one with multiple DisplayPort is nearly impossible.

100% agree. I think nvidia using an outdated DP version on their latest GPUs has only made this worse.

One thing I've found is that sometimes displays will have USB-C & DisplayPort, which is effectively two DP inputs.
