Gbit/s in High Bit Rate 2 (HBR2) mode, which allows increased resolutions, higher refresh rates, and greater color depth, such as 3840 × 2160 at 60 Hz 10 bpc RGB. By virtue of its higher bandwidth, DisplayPort supports higher display resolutions and refresh rates, making it a popular choice for gamers and professional video editors. It also offers some modern technology to improve your gaming experiences, such as MST, Mirror Extended Mode, and others.

Unlike DVI and HDMI, which vary their transmission speed to the exact rate required for the specific video format, DisplayPort only operates at a few specific speeds; any excess bits in the transmission are filled with "stuffing symbols". It allows multiple independent displays to be driven from a single DP port on the source devices by multiplexing several video streams into a single stream and sending it to a branch device, which demultiplexes the signal into the original streams. DisplayPort Cables are the most important component to connect your pc with other output devices with the best resolution and a high-quality refresh rate. A switch takes multiple inputs and lets you choose which one to display on your TV or computer monitor. When transmission distance requirements exceed the limits of passive and active cables, it's time to consider the various forms of signal extension.

For example, older versions of the DisplayPort Marketing Guidelines allowed a device to be labeled as "DisplayPort 1. indicates that two adjacent pixels on each row share color information, representing a 50% reduction in color data.

The initial HDMI specification provided support for 24-bit Color Depth (8-bits per color x 3 colors RGB). PSR mode allows the GPU to enter a power saving state in between frame updates by including framebuffer memory in the display panel controller.Graphics cards and port drivers do not usually indicate the version of DisplayPort they support but they will show maximum resolution and refresh rate (e. The main factor behind this was the phase-out of VGA, and that both Intel and AMD planned to stop building products with FPD-Link by 2013. Some of the best monitors available today are still based on that slightly older standard and they don't suffer for it. and later standards specify that passive DisplayPort-to-DisplayPort cables must leave pin 20 unconnected.

The refresh frequencies in the below table do not represent the absolute maximum limit of each interface, but rather an estimate based on a modern standardized timing formula.

standard cables and will be extremely future proof as larger, higher resolution and higher frame rate displays become the norm in coming years. Raw video signals are transmitted with additional encoding that allows them to be reconstituted by the receiving device. For a cable that is going to be future proof for many upcoming devices and displays, it would be nice to get the peace of mind of a multi-year warranty. Although cables are commonly labeled with version numbers, with HBR2 cables advertised as "DisplayPort 1. Its specialty is that it is designed with a 24k gold-plated coating which provides good connection speed and maintains the strength of the signal.

That being said, if you’re a user looking to do some high refresh rate gaming (120Hz and up) or high-resolution video editing, you’ll want to utilize DisplayPort 1. If you have a DisplayPort-capable computer or laptop and are looking to connect it to a DisplayPort-capable display, you’ll need to get a DisplayPort cable, but it’s important to ensure that you get the right type of cable to suit your needs. Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page. This bandwidth is enough for a 4K UHD display ( 3840 × 2160) at 120 Hz with 24 bit/px RGB color, a 5K display ( 5120 × 2880) at 60 Hz with 30 bit/px RGB color, or an 8K UHD display ( 7680 × 4320) at 30 Hz with 24 bit/px RGB color.

This would reduce the physical bandwidth requirements by 2–3×, placing it well within the capabilities of an HBR2-rated cable. The cable also has an additional feature: it has a well-protected shield with multiple layers, which adds protection and reduces EMI radiation. Unavailable on USB-C– The DisplayPort Alternate Mode specification for sending DisplayPort signals over a USB-C cable does not include support for the dual-mode protocol.
