DISPLAYPORT EXPLAINED

If you’re a home theatre enthusiast, home or office PC user, a gamer, a content producer – or someone who simply wants the best – then you should be excited about DisplayPort.

DisplayPort delivers on the promise of digital displays.

It replaces the clunky DVI interface and eventually replaces the analogue VGA interface on displays and PCs with an innovative digital solution that supports the latest graphics and LCD technologies. DisplayPort assures that you get the best experience from your LCD, enables interoperability with existing display interfaces and provides a technology foundation to deliver new and exciting display capabilities.

Maximum Performance

As a truly digital interface, DisplayPort enables you to get the full experience from your monitor.

DisplayPort features an innovative, micro-packet architecture and includes a bi-directional auxiliary channel for two way communications between a PC and a display. This modern architecture enables exciting display capabilities and is designed to enable maximum display performance.

The first version of DisplayPort provides over twice the capacity of single-channel DVI over the same number of wires through a much smaller and easier to use connector. DisplayPort v1.1a delivers 10.8Gbps of bandwidth as a standard feature over a USB sized connector.

In addition to greater resolution, DisplayPort also supports greater colour depths and higher refresh rates. Colour depth and refresh rate are becoming increasingly important in delivering stunning image quality with the latest display technologies for enjoying 3D games, high definition content, and professional applications.
