DisplayPort defines a new royalty-free, digital audio/video interconnect, intended to be used primarily between a computer and its display monitor, or a computer and a home-theater system.
DisplayPort currently supports a maximum of 17.28 Gbit/s data rate over a 2 meter cable.
The video signal is not compatible with DVI or HDMI, but a DisplayPort connector can pass these signals through.
While DVI and HDMI require separate clock signals, DisplayPort embeds the clock in the data signal.
DisplayPort delivers high performance digital connectivity for virtually any use at home or at work.
It's the future standard and It's available today.
