God, fuck those dual DVI-D ports. We had a bunch of computers at my first real job that used that crap and the breakout cables were such complete and utter shit. Dell, you had room for two DVI-D ports on your shit ass midtowers!
EDIT: also fuck DVI-A. I've had one miserable encounter with that port and I'm glad it's dead. Either keep shit VGA, use DVI-D, or use the far superior DisplayPort with a locking cable.
God I fucking love DisplayPort locking cables.
DVI as a collective can eat shit and rot in a pile of shit.
VGA was great, DP is nice but should be more adopted, HDMI is "meh" but usable, using DVI is like eating Trump's hemorrhoids
HDMI is much worse than DVI. Because of their bullshit licensing, the newer versions can't be used with open source drivers.
Yeah that's why I put it behind DP.
However, I've never had a problem with HDMI, it has always just worked on every display every computer without problems.
