Product Information

There is a new DisplayPort standard in the works too – DisplayPort 2.0– but aside from that, DisplayPort 1.4 is the best you can get. While it might be a standard that's several years old, it still has one of the best features and spec lists you'll find among any connectors. Only the supremely modern alternatives can stand up to it and even hope to compete.

No extenders, boosters or runs of CAT5e needed. These simply connect to your host and device like a standard cable Active DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable supports all features that a DP1.4 cable can offer including High Dynamic Range (HDR) and up to 8K (7680x4320@60Hz) video resolution. The answer to those questions is mixed because it depends on your particular use case and needs. If you can benefit from the advancements made with DisplayPort 1.4, like the introduction of DSC 1.2 and the expanded audio channels, then it's worth opting for, even if it costs a bit more.Another major improvement with DisplayPort 1.4 was on the audio front, where it moved from a maximum audio sample rate of 768kHz to 1,536kHz. It also increased the maximum number of audio channels from 8 to 32. Should you buy DisplayPort 1.4?

If you’ve been following DisplayPort and USB-C technology, you may ask, What is Display Stream Compression? Read on to find out how 8K video over USB-C and DisplayPort is possible. The DisplayPort 1.4 standard was first published in March 2016. While it didn't introduce any new transmission modes and did not increase the available bandwidth or data rate, it maintained the strong showing from DisplayPort 1.3. DisplayPort 1.4 has a maximum total bandwidth of 32.4Gbps and a maximum total data rate of 25.92Gbps. That gives it enough bandwidth to handle a 4K UHD stream at up to 120Hz with 24-bit/px color, or a 5K display at up to 60Hz, with 30-bit/px color. It even supports 8K video, but only at up to 30Hz due to the hefty bandwidth demands. Other DisplayPort 1.4 benefits include support for Dual-mode for DVI and HDMI adapters, making it possible to connect an HDMI or DVI display to a DisplayPortsource. It also has better support for HDR10 metadata and forward error correction (FEC) for a noiseless transmission.Video connection standards are constantly evolving. As for DisplayPort 1.4 vs. 1.2; what are the differences? Read on to learn about what you can do with the increased bandwidth of DP 1.4.
