What is Displayport?
DisplayPort is the next generation digital display interface standard design to replace DVI, LVDS, and eventually VGA. DisplayPort delivers higher performance, enables exciting new monitor designs, improves digital display connectivity, and provides a roadmap for future display usages.
It was developed by members of the industry who saw the need for improved display experiences that could be implemented ubiquitously across complete product lines.
Supported by the 180+ member companies of VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association), representing a significant cross-section of the computer and consumer electronics industry, DisplayPort represents the next generation of digital display interface standards.
