About this deal

First standard to support 8K resolution (7680 x 4320) at 60 Hz refresh rate with full-color 4:4:4 resolution, including with 30 bits per pixel (bpp) for HDR-10 support At the same time, if you are on a Windows system and have more than one DisplayPort-compatible monitor, you can also use the MST mode to daisy chain both the monitors. An even more simple answer as to why use DisplayPort, though, is that your monitor or graphics card requires it. Chances are both will have an alternative like HDMI or DVI, built-in, but if you have a virtual reality headset or secondary display already using that technology, then DisplayPort may be all that's left to you. Again, it has standard looks and doesn’t have fancy frills like the braided exterior, textured connectors, and the likes. It’s a simple USB-C to DisplayPort cable, and that’s about it.

The latest generation of DisplayPort (2.0 and 2.1) enables up to 3X increase in video bandwidth performance (max payload of 77.37 Gbps) The best part is that it’s available in three lengths – 3ft, 6ft, and 10ft. This gives you the flexibility of setting up your monitor is as per your convenience and preference. USB-C is a powerful connector and is now a part of most ultrathin, compact laptops like MacBook Air, Dell XPS 13, or the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3. This powerful connector allows features like charging your laptop or connecting dongles to read contents from an SD card, among others. The best part is the USB-C’s Alternate Mode, which lets you use the same port to output video to an external display. So if you have an external monitor with a DisplayPort, you can get a USB-C to DisplayPort cable to connect your Mac to it. Can I connect an existing monitor to a new computer, tablet or phone that uses the USB-C connector with DisplayPort over USB-C?

The Radeon software should alert you to the problem with an error message, but this is easy to miss when it pops up. Open the Radeon software and have a look at the notifications. The message will be: Improved user experience with augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR) displays, including support for 4K-and-beyond VR resolutions. Yes. Adapters and Adapter cables are available to connect DisplayPort over USB-C to DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, and VGA monitor inputs. Again, it’s a versatile cable and works on macOS and Windows systems. CableMatters claims that this one can support 8K resolution at 60Hz. However, you can rest assured that this DisplayPort cable works perfectly in 4K resolution at 60Hz. Another new feature is the ability to support high-speed, bi-directional data transfer, allowing USB 2.0 or Ethernet data to be carried within a standard DisplayPort cable. For DisplayPort v1.2, the maximum data rate of this “AUX” channel has been increased from 1 Mbps (Mega-bit-per-second) to 720 Mbps, providing suitable bandwidth for USB 2.0. The DisplayPort cable can therefore support USB data to/from the display to support Display USB functions, in addition to sending the video and audio information. Standard Ethernet can also be transported in the DisplayPort cable.

Nowadays, DisplayPort signals can be carried over USB Type-C connectors, with the added benefit of being able to transmit USB data, too. The answer is about USB being carried over the standard DisplayPort connector, which is possible in theory, but not really available in practice. However, it has a small caveat. If you have the 12-inch Apple MacBook, you’ll get 4K-only at 30Hz. Other than that, it’s a versatile cable and works on both macOS and Windows systems. But DisplayPort is more than just a cable. It's a set of standards. If you want to get the most out of your PC, your graphics card, or your monitor, then learning what DisplayPort is used for, and how best to take advantage of it , is an important step to take. An easy way to understand how this works is that although USB-C & Thunderbolt 3 use a different connector than DisplayPort, DisplayPort’s underlying technology, or protocol, is used to send the video information through those ports. This is great news for owners of newer laptops containing only a few USB-C ports, as they can still be connected to DisplayPort and other displays using some USB-C display adapters or Thunderbolt 3 adapters .

For most users, however, the only real difference is size and price. Active DisplayPort converters tend to be larger and more expensive because they include additional, in-adapter signal processing chips, whereas passive adapters utilize DP++ to do the heavy lifting for them and are more of a mere physical interface converter. Active DisplayPort adapters are necessary for an Eyefinity multi-display setup where you’re converting to more than 2 monitors. How many Hz does DisplayPort support?

Whereas connectors like HDMI are commonly found on mainstream gaming consoles, televisions, monitors, and graphics cards, DisplayPort is more common in high-end devices. It's often seen in gaming monitors and is found in greater numbers on the latest graphics cards, like Nvidia's RTX 3000 and 4000 series, and AMD’s RX 6000 and 7000 GPUs. How does DisplayPort work? No video data will be received by the display, hence there will be no image on the screen. Doing this will not harm your device. A warning message might also be displayed on the screen of the USB product to notify the user about the incompatibility.The system has detected a link failure and cannot set the requested resolution and refresh rate. Your display might not support the requested resolution or there may be an issue with the cable connecting the display to your computer."
