Well ! Who would call the detect and why ? By Dynamic i meant when the
cable is physically disconnected and connected there is detection
logic which can be implemented either by GPIo/Interrupts.
When you say the cable is connected , what happens in this case when
the cable is connected to say monitor of one resolution and then
plugged out and put to the other. Instead with dynamic method the
based on the physical connect and disconnect the notification would be
sent to any listener.
