About this deal

A: While the DP Hub has a set of mounting holes to mount to a wall, it does not support VESA mounting at this time. The DisplayPort 2.1 UHBR certification programme was launched in February 2022. Through the DisplayPort UHBR Certification Program, device and cable manufacturers can send new products to DisplayPort authorized test centers (ATCs) for testing and certification MST hubs accept one DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort video connection and deliver output to several video connections. The output video connections usually include Mini DisplayPort, extra DisplayPort, DVI, or HDMI connections. This kind of connection is made possible via the DisplayPort’s MST (Multi-Stream Transport) function. These hubs help you mirror your monitors to ensure the same window is displayed on all the connected monitors. Alternatively, they allow you to extend your desktop to make sure you get to see different windows on every connected monitor.

If you are looking for a cable, you will want to make sure that you grab one of a decent length. If you are planning on hooking up two devices, then you will need to ensure that there is enough cable to extend between the two. To ConcludeIt’s worth to be noted that the DisplayPort and HDMI connections on this port support DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4 standards, respectively.

We are very proud to be the first DisplayPort adopter to achieve DisplayPort UHBR certification for a sink device,” said Vince Hu, corporate vice president and general manager, Compute Business Unit, MediaTek Inc. “With the features that DisplayPort 2.0 brings to the table, we are able to develop advanced, robust technologies that system manufacturers can leverage to revolutionize the consumer’s highest quality visual experience. VESA requires very stringent testing before certification can be granted, making MediaTek’s achievement even more impressive. We are honored to play a critical role in VESA’s efforts to ensure interoperability and deliver industry leading products to market.” For USB Power Delivery, DisplayPort over USB-C cables can provide up to 100 watts. This is convenient for laptop users, as it's possible to maintain your laptop's charge via the connection to the monitor, meaning it's unnecessary to drag the charger around with you. H.E. stands for Home Entertainment. These devices can include TVs, DVD players, set-top boxes (cable, satellite, etc) and video game consoles. DisplayPort Dongles: Its plug-and-play features allow you to enjoy the benefits of multiple monitors with a single digital output port. Ideal for graphic design, video editing, 3D animation, CAD/CAM, spreadsheet analysis, and productivity without the need of an additional graphics card! Something you may hear about MST hubs, and you may wonder what they are actually. You may also wonder whether they will work in your setup or not.This hub works perfectly for gaming, graphic design, digital signage applications, and spreadsheet analysis. You can enhance multitasking and boost productivity by configuring this hub to function as a splitter with an identical video image on every display. So, you can extend a video image to multiple displays or expand a video image by connecting multiple monitors in the form of one display. Lightweight, small form factor lets you easily carry it along. Features: This article will take you through the latest generation of DP that you will soon start to hear more about, and that is now, as of 17 October 2022, DisplayPort 2.1. We will refer to this as “DP 2.1” throughout now that this updated version has been announced. The initial DP 2.0 standard for which this article was originally written was published in June 2019, although actual consumer DP 2.0 devices in the monitor and display space have yet to appear. DP 2.1 supersedes the 2.0 generation. The standard “defines the new normative requirement and informative guideline for component and system design” as VESA put it. The new DisplayPort capabilities included in DisplayPort 2.0 / 2.1 have begun the cycle of hardware development that will result in such technology becoming available to consumers in a range of products over the next few years. More discussion on timescales later on.

Put simply, all DP 2.0 certified devices are now DP 2.1 compliant already, but the newer DP 2.1 standard will provide better and stricter criteria for future devices and development. When will DisplayPort 2.1 be Available? AMD is delighted to collaborate with Samsung and VESA to demonstrate the next generation of high-resolution, high-refresh, high-fidelity visual experiences enabled by DisplayPort 2.1 products across gaming, productivity, and professional segments,” said Syed Athar Hussain, VESA board vice-chairman and AMD CVP and display domain senior fellow. “Pairing our VESA DisplayPort 2.1-certified AMD Radeon RX 7900 Series graphics cards with Samsung’s Odyssey Neo G9 showcases a premium ultra-smooth, low-latency, high-refresh gaming experience at 8K2K DUHD 240Hz with UHBR13.5. We are excited for users to experience these upcoming products for themselves, and they can be confident that source, sink, and cable interoperability will be assured by the VESA UHBR Certification Program.” DisplayPort over USB-C has many advantages over DisplayPort and its primary competitors. These advantages include increased convenience, versatility, functionality, and multi-display streaming. Convenience The AMD RX 7900 XT and XTX cards will support UHBR 13.5 for a total 54Gbps bandwidth, at least including some of the new UHBR speeds which is good news, and extending beyond DP 1.4 and even HDMI 2.1 bandwidth capabilities. AMD talked in their press release about how this could in theory enable displays with 4K 480Hz, 8K 165Hz and even 1440p 900Hz thanks to the use of DSC. Obviously there aren’t any such displays yet, but this does at least open the door to them being developed. We would expect to see the next generation of NVIDIA cards including DP 2.1 and over time the bandwidth capabilities should increase to the full 80Gbps UHBR20 too. The major difference between both HDMI and DisplayPort is their intended use cases, and there are some speed considerations too. HDMI cables are generally intended for use with consumer electronics such as televisions and video game consoles.HBR3(High Bit Rate 3): 8.10Gbit/s bandwidth per lane (810MHz link symbol rate), introduced in DP1.3, also used for DP 1.4 This new interface is designed to work along side of the proprietary digital visual interface (DVI) used between the personal computer and an external display, as well as the legacy low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) interface used inside laptops, monitors, and TVs to connect to LCD panels. As DisplayPort becomes more readily available, eventually it replaces VGA, DVI, and LVDS as the display interface standard. HDMI 2.1 can reliably run 4K resolutions at 60Hz, as can the DP 2.0 standard. However, beyond 4K, things change. While HDMI 2.1 can support 8K at 60Hz, DisplayPort can support 8K at a 120Hz refresh rate, or 16K at 60Hz.

With the updates to DP 2.1 made on 17 Oct 2022 VESA have also updated the DisplayPort cable specification to provide greater robustness and enhancements to full-size and Mini DisplayPort cable configurations that enable improved connectivity and longer cable lengths (beyond two meters for DP40 cables and beyond one meter for DP80 cables) without diminishing UHBR performance. What if your cable isn’t good enough and isn’t DP40 or DP80 certified? The DisplayPort interface accommodates both personal computer and home entertainment applications and does so at a lower manufacturing cost. The table below shows a comparison of display interface connectivity. Video Cable Comparison Table A: Yes, the DP Hub requires an external power adapter to function. This adapter is included in the box.DisplayPort helps to optimize the refresh rate of many computer monitors, which makes them useful for modern gaming, and so you’ll see DisplayPort connectors on the latest graphics cards for optimal support beyond 4K.
