DisplayPort vs. HDMI

26 Oct.,2023

 

What is DisplayPort?

VGA and DVI computer video connectors are slowly being replaced by smaller, more versatile DisplayPort connectors. Corporations that buy hundreds and thousands of PCs are already factoring this change into their future purchases, because it can affect the type of monitors and cables they will use with DisplayPort-enabled computers.

DisplayPort is a digital interface developed by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA), the same organization that developed VGA and DVI. It is designed to support higher resolution computer displays up to 3840 x 2160 @ 60Hz. It is also backward compatible with older VGA and DVI monitors through the use of a DisplayPort adapters.

DisplayPort comes in two connector formats: Standard size, and Mini-DisplayPort, which is typically found on Apple computers and some other PC notebooks. DELL, HP/COMPAQ, as well as other PC manufacturers have been shipping computers with Standard DisplayPort for some time now, and an increasing number of monitors are including a DisplayPort socket.
