Our main issue with the new standard is the rather odd certification approach that means that officially a device doesn’t even need to support the new UHBR to pass as DP 2. Mini - commonly used for the DisplayPort output on notebook PCs including Apple products which includes Thunderbolt. It also adds the ability to verify the proximity of the receiver and transmitter, a technique intended to ensure users are not bypassing the content protection system to send data out to distant, unauthorized users.

The video signal path can range from six to sixteen bits per color channel, and the audio path can have up to eight channels of 24-bit, 192 kHz uncompressed PCM audio. Dell was the first company to introduce a consumer product with a DisplayPort connector, the Dell UltraSharp 3008WFP, which was released in January 2008. in our opinion and that speed should be whatever is required to support the resolution and refresh rate promoted without needing any compression measures (excluding DSC) that would impact the visual experience. DisplayPort was originally developed as the next generation personal computer display interface and is now available on a wide range of tablets, notebooks, and desktop computers as well as monitors.Currently, DisplayPort is the most widely implemented alternate mode, and is used to provide video output on devices that do not have standard-size DisplayPort or HDMI ports, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. On 3 November 2022 AMD announced their new RX 7900 XT and XTX graphics cards which will be the first high end gaming graphics cards to feature the new DP 2. DisplayPort does not have multiple cable designs; all DP cables have the same basic layout and wiring, and will support any feature including audio, daisy-chaining, G-Sync/ FreeSync, HDR, and DSC.

This is an extreme example and we would hope for transparency from display manufacturers when providing specs, but it is still an area that could lead to confusion or possibly to abuse. We would have liked a new logo to make it quick and simple for consumers to differentiate which version of DP is featured on a given device, as the current “one logo fits all” approach is a bit pointless.s Mini DisplayPort connector, which is much smaller and designed for laptop computers and other small devices, is compatible with the new standard. Improved user experience with augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR) displays, including support for 4K-and-beyond VR resolutions.

The 8b/10b encoding scheme uses 10 bits of bandwidth to send 8 bits of data, so only 80% of the bandwidth is available for data throughput. The presence of this circuit places a limit on how quickly the adapter can operate, and therefore newer adapters are required for each higher speed added to the standard.

Certification of UHBR reference devices must undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet the requirements outlined in the DisplayPort 2.

VESA now has the testing infrastructure in place to evaluate and certify OEM end products, and we are ready to work with the ecosystem to bring next-generation DisplayPort chipsets and IP to market.

brings DisplayPort into convergence with USB4 PHY specifications to ensure the highest video performance across a broad range of consumer products. The minimum blanking intervals (and therefore the exact maximum frequency that can be achieved) will depend on the display and how many secondary data packets it requires, and therefore will differ from model to model.
