Display Port or HDMI

[CypherSteel]

So, I'm looking at two LG 27" monitors (4K): LG 27UD68-W 4K UHD 27" Screen LED-Lit Monitor: Amazon.ca: Computers & Tablets

And as I have an RX Vega 64, I have two display ports and two HDMI ports. I've been looking but really haven't found an answer I understand for this, which is: Which is best to use for Photoshop, Premiere, AE and perhaps a game or two, HDMI or Display Port?

I doubt you'd see any difference with using either cable.  I suspect that you'll find a  wider range of HDMI cables available, and they might be a bit cheaper.

I use four connections from my GTX970 to three monitors and a Cintiq Companion 2, and I just use what works best within the confines of distance.  I've just had a look behind the screens, and the longest one (3 metres) is DVI to HDMI.  I didn't give it a seconds thought.  That was the greatest distance, so I used the longest lead.

Linus did a crazy 10K setup with nine screens in a recent video, and would have needed to use long cable lengths.  You could ask a question in the comments, but I suspect they will have used HDMI.

HDMI or Display Port?

Doesn't matter. Minutia like signal latency, protocol tunneling or which pin carries which current/ signal are ultimately completely irrelevant. And with a 4k display you never get anywhere near exhausting any limits of either specification nor do you require any specific features like USB-style serial chaining as DisplayPort would allow.

Except if you have a 30-bit capable monitor and video card. Then you need DisplayPort, HDMI doesn't have the bandwidth.

If it works at all, that is...

Thanks all! HDMI it is.
