application. |
| Question: What''s the difference between
DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort? |
| Answer: Mini DisplayPort is a more compact version of the
orginial DisplayPort connector that was designed by Apple Computers and is found

| Question: What''s the difference between
DisplayPort and HDMI. |
Answer: DisplayPort was primarily designed as a replacement
for VGA, DVI and LVDS which are common interfaces used in the computer/IT
industries, while HDMI was developed by the Consumer Electronics Industry
specifically for Home Theater applications. Toward this end, DisplayPort has
certain enhanced features such as direct drive monitor design and single cable
multi-function monitor connectivity. Some advantages of HDMI are the ability to
support xvYCC color, Dolby TrueHD and CEC (Consumer Electronics Control)
signals.
Though both share powerfull A/V features, DisplayPort was
designed to complement HDMI, not to replace it. |
