DisplayPort is a digital display interface standard developed by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). It is designed to replace older analog interfaces such as VGA and DVI, offering higher bandwidth and more advanced features. DisplayPort supports multiple display resolutions and refresh rates, making it suitable for both consumer and professional applications. It can transmit both video and audio signals, eliminating the need for separate cables.

The standard has undergone several revisions, with DisplayPort 1.0 being the first version released in 2006. Subsequent versions, including DisplayPort 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3, have introduced improvements in bandwidth, multi-stream transport, and enhanced frame packing. DisplayPort 2.0, released in 2019, significantly increased the bandwidth to 77.4 Gbps, supporting 8K resolution at 60 Hz.

DisplayPort uses a mini-DisplayPort connector, which is smaller and more versatile than the older DVI connector. It supports both single-link and multi-link configurations, allowing for flexible cable lengths and resolutions. The interface also includes features such as Multi-Stream Transport (MST), which enables a single DisplayPort cable to drive multiple displays, and USB-C support, which allows for easier connectivity with modern devices.

DisplayPort is widely adopted in both consumer electronics and professional graphics markets. It is supported by a wide range of devices, including computers, monitors, projectors, and gaming consoles. The standard's flexibility, high bandwidth, and advanced features make it a popular choice for modern display connectivity.
