GUIDE TO DISPLAYPORT 2.1

Originally introduced as a successor to the aging VGA and DVI standards, DisplayPort has carved out its niche as a preferred digital interface for transmitting video from desktop PCs to monitors, while also handling audio and data transmission.

01

DisplayPort often finds itself in comparison with HDMI, which is positioned as its competitor. It boasts superior bandwidth capabilities, yet it doesn't mirror HDMI's extensive feature set. Since its debut in 2006, DisplayPort has evolved across several generations.

The Mini DisplayPort variant, lacking this locking feature, has been pretty much phased out, overtaken by the more common and versatile USB-C.

USB-C's adoption of DisplayPort Alternate mode exemplifies the interface's flexibility, allowing it to carry video and audio alongside data over a single cable to compatible displays.
