      Like that latching plug, dislike how manufacturers put it on only one side.

      That’s the only real solution IMO, because monitor makers are gonna do what they do. Terrible frames, oddly angled, recessed. Once it’s in? Latching is awesome. Ever need to remove it? Fuck it, buy a new monitor.

      The nicest part is you don’t HAVE to use a latching plug. Friction fit plugs are compliant with the standard, and they are available for sale. My Dell 1440p 165hz displays came with a very nice friction fit DisplayPort cable.

      Latching connectors are better for permanent setups or commercial displays however, as they won’t wiggle themselves loose.
