    Having worked in the A/V industry, HDMI is the weakest video cable of all, there is a reason why pro video still uses SDI

        DVI-D is my favourite. Same screw in mount of VGA, but digital with pins that require a hammer to bend.

        VGA cables literally had screws on the sides to keep them in the holes they belong in

            Until one of the screws magically pops out or breaks and then the other one has to shoulder the burden
