why should i use displayport over dvi or hdmi?

[Sheninat0r]

i'm debating between the xl2411z and xl2420z, both 1080p 144hz with strobe backlight (the only feature i care about, else i'd be rocking ips). the 2420 has dp, so i'm wondering if it is worth the premium to pick it up over the 2411 just for the displayport.

looks to me like dvi is dying but hdmi is probably gonna be around for a while. are there any actual benefits to displayport besides huge bandwidth (useless at 1080p144)or daisy chaining?

They're both digital so no, visually there won't be a difference. I would like to get the XL2420G however it is too expensive for what it is. I really want it though .

Have you taken a look at the LG 24GM77? 144Hz with true 8 bit TN and DisplayPort for $282: http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-24GM77-24-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B00P0EOX1S

Wish it had G-SYNC.

The reality is, HDMI is a non factor for these 2 monitors. If you want 144hz, you'll need to use Dual Link DVI-D or Displayport. HDMI is not likely an option for that refresh rate.

oh well, i think i'll just live with a dp->dvi adapter whenever i get a new gpu.
