Nvidia revealed the GeForce GTX 1080, the world's first graphics card with DisplayPort 1.4 support on 6 May 2016. [110] AMD followed with the Radeon RX 480 to support DisplayPort 1.3/1.4 on 29 June 2016. [111] The Radeon RX 400 Series will support DisplayPort 1.3 HBR and HDR10, dropping the DVI connector(s) in the reference board design. Two 4K ( 3840 × 2160) displays @ 144 Hz and 8 bpc (24 bit/px, SDR) RGB/Y′C BC R 4:4:4 color (uncompressed)DisplayPort cables and ports may have either a "full-size" connector or a "mini" connector. These connectors differ only in physical shape—the capabilities of DisplayPort are the same regardless of which connector is used. Using a Mini DisplayPort connector does not affect performance or feature support of the connection. HDR extensions were defined in version 1.4 of the DisplayPort standard. Some displays support these HDR extensions, but may only implement HBR2 transmission mode if the extra bandwidth of HBR3 is unnecessary (for example, on 4K 60 Hz HDR displays). Since there is no definition of what constitutes a "DisplayPort 1.4" device, some manufacturers may choose to label these as "DP 1.2" devices despite their support for DP 1.4 HDR extensions. [52] As a result, DisplayPort "version numbers" should not be used as an indicator of HDR support.

It should also be noted that the use of Display Stream Compression (DSC), introduced in DisplayPort 1.4, greatly reduces the bandwidth requirements for the cable. Formats which would normally be beyond the limits of DisplayPort 1.4, such as 4K (3840 × 2160) at 144 Hz 8 bpc RGB/Y′C BC R 4:4:4 (31.4 Gbit/s data rate when uncompressed), can only be implemented by using DSC. This would reduce the physical bandwidth requirements by 2–3×, placing it well within the capabilities of an HBR2-rated cable. eDP 1.0 was adopted in December 2008. [85] It included advanced power-saving features such as seamless refresh rate switching.

Examples of devices that support DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C include: MacBook, Chromebook Pixel, Surface Book 2, Samsung Galaxy Tab S4, iPad Pro (3rd generation), iPhone 15/ 15 Pro, HTC 10/ U Ultra/ U11/ U12+, Huawei Mate 10/ 20/ 30, LG V20/ V30/ V40*/ V50, OnePlus 7 and newer, ROG Phone, Samsung Galaxy S8 and newer, Nintendo Switch, Sony Xperia 1/ 5 etc. [113] [114] Participating companies [ edit ] Wireless DisplayPort ( wDP) enables the bandwidth and feature set of DisplayPort 1.2 for cable-free applications operating in the 60 GHz radio band. It was announced in November 2010 by WiGig Alliance and VESA as a cooperative effort. [92] SlimPort [ edit ] A SlimPort-to-HDMI adapter, made by Analogix Not all DisplayPort cables are capable of functioning at the highest levels of bandwidth. Cables may be submitted to VESA for an optional certification at various bandwidth levels. VESA offers four levels of cable certification: Standard, DP8K, DP40, and DP80. [41] :§4.1 These certify DisplayPort cables for proper operation at the following speeds:

Three 10K ( 10240 × 4320) displays @ 60 Hz and 10 bpc (30 bit/px, HDR) RGB/Y′C BC R 4:4:4 color (with DSC) The maximum limits for the RBR and HBR modes are calculated using standard data rate calculations. [50] For UHBR modes, the limits are based on the data efficiency calculations provided by the DisplayPort standard. [51] :§3.5.2.18 All calculations assume uncompressed RGB video with CVT-RB v2 timing. Maximum limits may differ if compression (i.e. DSC) or Y′C BC R 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 chroma subsampling are used.

Some new, high-end, or especially small machines are starting to rely on the Thunderbolt standard, which can operate on a flexible USB Type-C connector for video out, audio, data, and power, all at once. These multi-purpose ports are still rare on monitors, but the flexibility they offer is making them quite popular on laptops and tablets. Unfortunately, using one with most monitors and televisions at the moment will require yet another adapter. DisplayID is designed to replace the E-EDID standard. DisplayID features variable-length structures which encompass all existing EDID extensions as well as new extensions for 3D displays and embedded displays. Michael Crider has been writing about computers, phones, video games, and general nerdy things on the internet for over a decade. Dual-link DVI is limited in resolution and speed by the quality and therefore the bandwidth of the DVI cable, the quality of the transmitter, and the quality of the receiver; can only drive one monitor at a time; and cannot send audio data. HDMI 1.3 and 1.4 are limited to effectively 8.16 Gbit/s or 340 MHz (though actual devices are limited to 225–300 MHz [ citation needed]), and can only drive one monitor at a time. VGA connectors have no defined maximum resolution or speed, but their analog nature limits their bandwidth, though can provide long cabling only limited by appropriate shielding.
