    Why would you even want that, the locking mechanism is imo one of the advantages DP has over HDMI, I had one too many instances of the HDMI plug getting lose in the socket causing signal loss (granted, not a big issue for Home Theater but def. an issue for some people for PC usage).

      YMMV, obviously.

      Locking DP is a pain in the ass for me. HDMI disconnecting was never an issue either.

      I just wish I had a choice, but in practice I don’t as selection of cables is poor.

      I never screwed in VGA or DVI connectors either.

      Personally I prefer the plug falling out instead of the connector and/or cable getting damaged if you pull on it.
