which, when you go through your drawer of old cables and chargers, is guaranteed to be the one thing you don't have.

one will mysteriously surface once you've gone out and bought a new one, though

Display port I think.

i agree - second from top in original picture (square at one end, slanted at other) looks like display port.

You've also got HDMI there but DP is usually better for splitting outputs. You might get away with DP to HDMI for monitor one and HDMI to HDMI for monitor 2 but you need to be sure it's supported. Who made the PC?

Lenovo. I have the cable and it works

It is pretty annoying tbh. Why not just have two hdmi ports?

Just looking into the differences. There are some but an interesting one is that you can run multiple monitors off one display port.

And the very one you threw our recently because you definitely would never need it again..

I had to go and retrieve my very last VGA-to-VGA from the "to the dump" box for that very reason

Buying a new one generally lures the old one out of hiding.

Display Port is a very powerful video bus. You can do multiple 4k monitors with the right gear.
