About this deal

DisplayPort's first version was approved in 2006 by VESA. Ever since, the DisplayPort has improved its bandwidth and resolution with the development of newer versions. In 2014, DisplayPort 1.3 was established. The DisplayPort 1.3 has a bandwidth of 32.4 Gbps. This bandwidth is a 50% increment from the previous DisplayPort version.

The above are just examples – it is not required that all of the screens use the same resolution. For example, one 2560 x 1600 monitor could be used with two 1920 x 1080 monitors. And while all monitors in the middle of the daisy chain need to be DisplayPort v1.2 daisy-chainable (since they need the DisplayPort output), the last monitor can be an older DP 1.1 monitor (which only has a DisplayPort input). All versions of the DisplayPort can be connected to multiple 4k monitors while HDMI 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 can not. Because of its 3:1 compression ratio DisplayPort offers a superior bandwidth of 32.4 Gbps which will drastically reduce screen tearing. You’ll experience a loss-less screen quality that makes complex tasks a breeze. In terms of resolution and refresh rate, there isn’t enough of a difference between DisplayPort and HDMI to business people to use one or the other. But in terms of physical functionality, the ability to chain monitors with a DisplayPort could make a significant impact on one's workflow. The hub supports resolutions up to 4K (3840 x 2160) at 60Hz when connected to a single display or 4K (3840 x 2160) at 30Hz when connected to dual displays and has a max bandwidth of 5.4Gbps.

The market share is notably high in other states like Canada and Japan. Canada has a 23.4% compound annual growth rate, while Japan has a 20.2 compound annual growth rate projected over the next five years.

DisplayPort structure allows for transmission of several data streams simultaneously using one connection. Another development that evolved DisplayPort technology in 2014 is introducing the High Bit Rate 3 (HBR3) transmission mode. The HBR3 transmission mode allowed DisplayPort 1.3 to transmit a 5120×2880 display at a refresh rate of up to 60hz. USB-C can be used in computer and smartphone connections, while a DisplayPort can not connect a smartphone. When configuring a daisy chained monitor setup, it is important to take into consideration two aspects. First, GPUs usually have an inherent limitation in how many simultaneous displays they can drive; some can drive up to three displays, while others can drive four or even six. Second, even though DisplayPort 1.2 offers the higher pixel rate available, there is a limitation in how many pixels can be sent down the display pipe. The table below provides maximum monitor count vs. display resolution, based and DisplayPort 1.2 bandwidth limits: USB-C can transmit video, audio, and power through one cable from the same port, while DisplayPort can only transmit video and audio.The maximum bandwidth is calculated by multiplying the number of lanes in the DisplayPort by the raw bandwidth per lane. The effective bandwidth is the maximum bandwidth less the encoding overhead. For instance, DisplayPort 2.0 has a raw bandwidth of 20 Gbps, an encoding overhead of 3.13%, and a total of four lanes. Its maximum bandwidth will be 80Gbps. The effective bandwidth of DisplayPort is 77.4Gbps.
