A new version of DisplayPort is here. Officials are calling it the biggest upgrade yet. It could be enough to earn a place for DisplayPort in future devices. Originally envisioned as a replacement to the older VGA and DVI standards which dominated the market in the early 2000s. Backed by the VESA group, they always had an intent to be the king of computer cables . Whereas, HDMI has always had more of a television and entertainment focus. Traditionally it was in two traditional connector sizes. The full DisplayPort connector and the Mini DisplayPort connector. Sony, Philips, Maxell, and Lattice developed its technical aspects. And the first version appeared in the middle of 2006. It offered up to 10.8 Gbps of bandwidth. Then came the 1.1 and 1.1a standards. And then DisplayPort 1.2 in 2010, 1.3 and 1.4 in 2014, 2016. It trebled the bandwidth along its entire 10-year lifespan of the standard. In the gaming industry, it made its biggest gain. It remains a must-have for t...

No one talks about computer monitors. You will always find hobbyists talking about processor prowess, RAM and storage when they talk about building their ideal setup. But the display is just as essential! After all, the result of that computing is on the display! So, once you pick out the perfect CPU parts, the most comfortable keyboard, and the most accurate mouse, spend some time picking out the right monitor. On top of that spend an equal amount of time getting the best and the most future proof computer monitor cable . What should you keep in mind when getting a monitor? Display panel: Display technology has evolved significantly in the last few years, with IPS panels and OLED taking over the industry. If you are looking for color accuracy and wide view angels, IPS monitors are the way to go. Whereas in an OLED panel, each pixel lights up individually and you get the darkest blacks. Now that there are 8K OLED displays, it is one of the most expensive and luxurious viewing...

In a present scenario, connecting your laptop or desktop with multiple displays is a smart way to make your work easier. This process might look simple. I mean it’s just connecting one thing to another, how hard can it be? Hard enough to make you search all over the internet. It requires the right cables, fine-tuning, proper connections, and much more. Let’s see how to connect your computer to multiple displays and all the other things you need to consider. Check The Connections First and foremost thing to do is to find out the right type of computer monitor cables you need. With the variety of computers, you would have different ports, HDMI, USB Type-C, DVI, and other ports. You need to check the output on the computer and make sure it matches with the input on the monitor. In a scenario where the output does not have a matching input on the monitor, you can get the help of a computer cable adapters to help you convert the output. “Extend” VS “Duplicate” Once you se...

Plenty of planning goes to build a system that protects computer hardware and any type of peripherals. During the building phase of the industrial computer enclosure, a common question arises by many of the end-users is how to power electronics inside a sealed enclosure. And that too when there is almost no place for the computer cables . Stated as ‘fully-sealed’, waterproof units are the industrial computer enclosures with an industry standard rating of IP56. They do not include a traditional split panel to feed additional cables into the enclosure. Most enclosure system comes with a fit cable entry gland with a maintained seal. They come with a clean, safe entry point to cable and reach the computer equipment. When you are in the market for an industrial computer enclosure, there are many types of cable glands available that suit specific enclosure applications. But before finalizing any one for your project, keep these five things in mind to feed cables into the un...

According to a study by Jon Peddie, multi-display systems can increase productivity up to 42 percent for an average person. Ever since the technology of connecting multiple monitors came to existence, it has enabled us to work on multiple documents efficiently and simultaneously. Presently, the demands of working on multiple devices are increasing. Displayport cables, also known as Multi-Stream (MST) makes it possible for you to email, manage your excel sheets, and presentations everything at the same time. If you are thinking of setting up a Multi-Stream transport for yourself then scroll down to learn how you can do the same. Brief History of MST: While the size of the devices is shrinking day-by-day, it is getting difficult to find alternative parts like VGD, DVI, HDMI, computer cables , etc. This setback was seen as an opportunity for the Video Electronics Standards Association. They started developing MST technology which will allow a DisplayPort to extend your de...

Remember the time when your father bought the first ever computer in the house? You used to observe him set up the whole system him and imagined yourself setting up the system in the same way. If you are a tech nerd you will surely relate to such situations. Unwrapping the new computer set, reading its user guides, spending hours setting up your systems is what all tech nerds love. Although it’s been never been easy. You can easily screw it up by messing up with your  computer adapters , cables, and other components if you’re not careful. Here are five mistakes explained in detail that we all make and how to avoid them. A Web Of Power Cables Your computer plugs do not support equal usage. For example, your computer’s internal power supply has two different kinds of 8-pin power cables. One for the graphics card and another one for the motherboard. But sometimes we make a mistake to forcefully plug the cables into the wrong pins even if the pins are of different shape. Tip: ...
