About DisplayPort
DisplayPort is a digital display interface specification designed to reduce display complexity and accelerate the adoption of protected digital outputs on PCs to support the viewing of high definition and other types of protected content with an optional content protection capability.
It was developed by members of the industry who saw the need for extreme display performance that could be implemented ubiquitously across complete product lines.
Supported by the 170+ member companies of VESA (the Video Electronics Standards Association), representing a significant cross-section of the computer and consumer electronics industry, DisplayPort represents the next generation of digital display interface standards.
