DisplayPort Interface WHAT IS THE DISPLAYPORT CONNECTOR?
DisplayPort is the newest digital video interface connect,
designed as a replacement for the DVI standard currently in use
on computer hardware. It is similar in specification to the HDMI
standard, but unlike HDMI, DisplayPort is being targeted as a
computer-interface more than HOW IS THE DISPLAYPORT DIFFERENT
FROM VGA AND DVI? While VGA has served the computer industry
well for many years, its analog-based signals (frequency-
modulated red, green, and blue components) are a weakness in
fidelity. The digitally-rendered signal must be converted to
analog by the video card, which adds inconsistencies and
blending, and identical source images can vary greatly on
different displays, depending on the displays' subjective
calibrations. DVI and DisplayPort are both digital-only signals,
which ensures that the final image displayed is identical to the
