DisplayPort version 1.3 was approved on 15 September 2014. [19] This standard increases overall transmission bandwidth to 32.4 Gbit/s with the new HBR3 mode featuring 8.1 Gbit/s per lane (up from 5.4 Gbit/s with HBR2 in version 1.2), for a total data throughput of 25.92 Gbit/s after factoring in 8b/10b encoding overhead. This bandwidth is enough for a 4K UHD display ( 3840 × 2160) at 120 Hz with 24 bit/px RGB color, a 5K display ( 5120 × 2880) at 60 Hz with 30 bit/px RGB color, or an 8K UHD display ( 7680 × 4320) at 30 Hz with 24 bit/px RGB color. Using Multi-Stream Transport (MST), a DisplayPort port can drive two 4K UHD ( 3840 × 2160) displays at 60 Hz, or up to four WQXGA ( 2560 × 1600) displays at 60 Hz with 24 bit/px RGB color. The new standard includes mandatory Dual-mode for DVI and HDMI adapters, implementing the HDMI 2.0 standard and HDCP 2.2 content protection. [20] The Thunderbolt 3 connection standard was originally to include DisplayPort 1.3 capability, but the final release ended up with only version 1.2. The VESA's Adaptive Sync feature in DisplayPort version 1.3 remains an optional part of the specification. [21] 1.4 [ edit ] The cable sizing up to 6 feet is genuinely comfortable for connectivity purposes. Similar to the other cables, it also has a latch button responsible for a smooth and reliable connection. One can easily plug the cable in and out of their system. That said, only the latest-generation graphics cards have HDMI 2.1 support, so you are more likely to be better off using a DisplayPort cable, as it offers enough bandwidth to handle up to 4K resolution at up to 120Hz and can be found on a much wider range of graphics cards. DisplayPort version 1.2a was released in January 2013 [15] and may optionally include VESA's Adaptive Sync. [16] AMD's FreeSync uses the DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync feature for operation. FreeSync was first demonstrated at CES 2014 on a Toshiba Satellite laptop by making use of the Panel-Self-Refresh (PSR) feature from the Embedded DisplayPort standard, [17] and after a proposal from AMD, VESA later adapted the Panel-Self-Refresh feature for use in standalone displays and added it as an optional feature of the main DisplayPort standard under the name "Adaptive-Sync" in version 1.2a. [18] As it is an optional feature, support for Adaptive-Sync is not required for a display to be DisplayPort 1.2a-compliant. DisplayPort cables are used with a range of devices including tablets, notebooks, desktop computers, monitors and televisions and include benefits such as:

HBR3 mode with 25.92 Gbit/s of effective video bandwidth, using CVT-R2 timings, allows eight simultaneous 1080p displays (1920 × 1080) @ 60 Hz, stereoscopic 4K UHD (3840 × 2160) @ 120 Hz, or 5120 × 2880 @ 60 Hz each using 24 bit RGB, and up to 8K UHD (7680 × 4320) @ 60 Hz using 4:2:0 subsampling [69]Later the same year, Apple introduced several products featuring a Mini DisplayPort. [106] The new connector– proprietary at the time– eventually became part of the DisplayPort standard, however Apple reserves the right to void the license should the licensee "commence an action for patent infringement against Apple". [107] In 2009, AMD followed suit with their Radeon HD 5000 Series of graphics cards, which featured the Mini DisplayPort on the Eyefinity versions in the series. [108] pins for external connectors on desktops, notebooks, graphics cards, monitors, etc. and 30/20 pins for internal connections between graphics engines and built-in flat panels.

Anbear Gold-plated DisplayPort cable is another recommended option for connecting your PC to an HD monitor or a projector for enhanced gaming and streaming facilities. This is usually a male-to-male DisplayPort cable.This cable is unique for its double shield copper coating for extra protection. Similarly, the shield coating inside the cable is provided in good condition.
