What is DisplayPort? DisplayPort is a digital display and data transfer interface developed by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) in 2006. Like its contemporary competitors, HDMI and Thunderbolt, it is a composite format capable of carrying video, audio, and data simultaneously.
Although DisplayPort has much of the same functionality as HDMI, it is a complementary connection used in different scenarios. DisplayPort can emit an HDMI signal through the use of a passive adapter connected to a port that is designed for dual-mode. notable limitation of dual-mode is that it can only transmit single-link DVI (and HDMI), as the number of pins in the DisplayPort connector is insufficient for dual-link connections. As a result, an active converter is needed for Dual-Link DVI and analog component video such as VGA.
