Do you mean DVI?
Also what stupidity was it to have no digital audio on the digital video and analogue audio via 2 extra pins?
I've twice had to pull off the analogue earth tab-pin on DVI-HMDi adaptors to plug them into a digital only DVI socket. Saving cents by not fitting a compatible socket on on gear even though it has no Analogue.
Also, weirdly, many DVI connections in Digital mode can't handle as high a resolution as DP or HDMI (you need two sockets and two cables) and some analogue VGA sockets can do higher resolution.
Of course we had higher resolution on monitors before the advent of so-called FHD, a measly 1920 x 1080 based off Japanese 1125 lines (= 1080 active lines. 626 lines = 576, 525 lines = 480, so Europe was never impressed by 720 mode).
