On: Why that Thunderbolt add-in card doesn't work prop...

Because nobody in China uses DP

Sadly "nobody" anywhere uses DP, as in any random TV or projector or cheap monitor you'd encounter uses HDMI. DP only took off for serious monitors.

Which is weird because every $200-400 monitor I’ve bought in the past decade-ish has been DP first with maybe an HDMI port.

Yeah, that already counts as "serious" :) Cheapest 1080p ones don't all come with DP
