Advantages DisplayPort has adapters for VGA and HDMI

Disadvantages None

Review summary
The Displayport is now common place in many laptops including the Apple MacPro. Don't be afraid of it, it is there to help you.

The Displayport is a video and audio interface connector used in Laptops, Desktops, monitors and other technical video equipment. The Displayport delivers high performance digital connectivity.

The display port is designed to replace older standards like DVI and VGA. The Displayport is capable of driving resolutions up to 2560×1600.
Displayport is a small external connector, similar in appearance to a USB "thumb drive," but slightly bigger. It is twice as fast as DVI, and it can use cables up to 50 feet (15 m).
There is also a mini version of the display port.
Most of the latest laptops and monitors have a display port.
My monitor (HP ZR24W) includes a display port which I use connected to my desktop PC via an ATI HD5770 GPU. This always displays a very stable picture at 1920 by 1200 screen resolution.

You cannot connect the Displayport the wrong way round as it only goes in one way.

There are adapters to connect Displayport to a VGA screen, also to a TV using an HDMI cable.


You can grab all the technical details on my web site listed below.

Many of the new laptops and desktops have started to do away with HDMI and changed over to the Displayport ( either as a mini connector or the full blown version ).



The Apple MacBook Pro comes equipped with the mini displayport.
