Why does Display port and HDMI feel so different?

Everything about displays and monitors. 120Hz, 144Hz, 240Hz, 4K, 1440p, input lag, display shopping, monitor purchase decisions, compare, versus, debate, and more. Questions? Just ask!

Reporting back from the Samsung Odyssey G7 32":
DP 240hz feels extremely bad compared to 144hz HDMI, but on HDMI I experience more tearing, not all the time, but when the tearing appears, everything feels floaty. Really strange.

Been testing the MSI MPG271QRX *QD-OLED for 1 month now.
- 144hz HDMI is still preferred over 360hz DP

After a few days of testing, I found that the input delay of the HDMI interface is lower than that of the DP interface. The DP interface is smoother while the HDMI interface has more micro-jitter.
