DisplayPort is an open standard put forth by the Video Electronic Standards Association (VESA). It aims to replace DVI and VGA as the standard for PC monitor connections, and Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) as the standard for internal laptop video connections. It offers much higher bandwidth than DVI (just slightly higher than HDMI 1.3).
DisplayPort is compatible with DVI and HDMI signals, including audio bitstreams and the HDCP content protection currently used in high-definition media formats. DisplayPort easily supports cable lengths greater than 15m, which is an advantage over the current home theater standard, HDMI. It also includes a scalable two-way auxiliary channel.
