DisplayPort is superior anyway.

If TVs would have it that would be nice. I use a PC attached to my TV and don't have the option.

TVs are not very good displays for computers. You have to go through a bunch of settings to turn off as much image processing as possible. Even then, the latency will still be higher than a gaming monitor. You have to disable overscan, which always seems to be on by default even though it's only useful for CRTs and makes absolutely no sense for a digital display with digital signals. Also, I've never had a single TV that will actually go into standby when commanded. It will just stay on with a no signal message when the computer turns off the output.

"Monitors" are smaller.

And the minimum cost of entry to anything reasonably sized is double to triple. Changing some settings is well worth it.
