When it comes to computer cables, what comes to mind is power cables, Displayport cables, HDMI cables , AUX cables, etc. One of the important cables in this list is the DisplayPort cable. Let's talk about that. DisplayPort has been a popular choice for computers, whereas HDMI has been popular for televisions. So, why has the DisplayPort cable been a crucial computer cable for so many years? The new DisplayPort standard, 2.0 is here and set to come to devices in 2020. It brings with it speed in data transmission and some new benefits. According to VESA, the organization that makes the display standard, "DisplayPort 2.0 enables up to 3X increase in video bandwidth performance (max payload of 77.37 Gbps); new built-in features enable improved user experience, greater flexibility, and improved power efficiency." If you are a video content creator, a motion graphic designer or a video editor, you know you need the best set up out there. It is an investment in your p...

The battle between HDMI and DisplayPort is not new. But if you really understand them both, you will know that each serves its own purpose. In this blog, we will talk about how to get the best display results with the use of these two cables. A wide range of devices come with HDMI port, from TVs to laptops and projectors. DisplayPort, on the other hand, has a much more niche usage (or acceptance or requirement). It is great for a gaming setup and external monitor usage in a workstation setup. It works great with most graphics cards and has a daisy chain mechanism, so you can hook up more than one monitor to a single CPU with just one DisplayPort on it. Let us explore the nuances of the different setups that work with the HDMI cable and DisplayPort cable: Entertainment Setup: Since all TVs have an HDMI port on it, it is the easiest and the best option for this setup. Generally, a TV has around two or three HDMI ports. With the increase in streaming devices, this is...

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...

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...

DisplayPort cables make it easier to connect a video source and a display device with each other. These cables are designed to support devices such as a PC, laptop, and monitors. DisplayPorts provide an ultimate display interface for computers. They also carry audio, USB, and other forms of data. These cables are capable of 3,840x2,160-pixel resolution at 60fps. This means that a standard DisplayPort cable will support new systems with the same quality results, possibly supporting systems up to 4k at 60Hz. However, while you look for buying options, you need to make a note that there are a few RBR (Reduced Bit Rate) cables. They support only up to 1080p. Therefore, unless the cable is identified as RBR, it is a standard   DisplayPort cable . Here are some points to consider: A standard DisplayPort cable (1.1, 1.2) supports any system, including 4K and multi-stream capabilities. A standard DisplayPort support RBR, HBR (High Bit Rate), and HBR2 (High Bit Rate 2), which ca...
