I've heard that dp might provide slightly better quality? Please tell me the differences no matter how small the importance. And could someone please point me in the direction of a good displayport cable that I can buy if I do decide on it? Thanks in advance! Rogue Leader It's a trap!

Otherwise its a digital signal, the quality is exactly the same, anyone who tells you different doesn't know what they are talking about..

Jul 4, 2, 1 3, DP has sound while DVI do not. Apple also makes an upgraded version of Mini DisplayPort called Thunderbolt. While it is backward-compatible with the older Mini DisplayPort, Apple does not share the proprietary rights of the Thunderbolt so it will not be seen on non-Apple devices. A Mini DisplayPort cable will not work with a newer Thunderbolt port. To tell Mini DisplayPort and Thunderbolt apart, look for a small lightning bolt symbol. If it is present, a cable or port is Thunderbolt.

If not, it is a Mini DisplayPort. When using a computer monitor, DisplayPort is the best option available to use. While it is not obsolete just yet, it is on its way there.

There are two sub-categories for DVI, the first of which contains single-link and dual-link. Simply put, dual-link uses more pins in the connector which allows for greater video resolution. DVI-I integrated is capable of supporting both analog and digital signals. VGA is an outdated analog video connection no longer used as a standard for most electronics, although they are still heavily used on projectors. For other electronics like computers and monitors, plenty of units equipped with VGA are still functional but few are still manufactured.

Typically, the only reason to use VGA today is if it is the only option available. We also carry an array of adapters for changing existing video cables to other formats.

DisplayPort seems to be a little ahead of its time due to the relative paucity of the feature among standard electronics.

However, it is possible this will change in the future and become more standardized. The HDMI cable included in most electronic products will no doubt be the clincher for people with regard to this issue. HDMI remains the victor of its triplet of competitors, at least for now.

August 3, Additional Hardware Requirements. DisplayPort It is a good choice when you want to connect your computer to another monitor. Which is the right cable to choose? Additional Hardware Requirements Of course, each of these connections require at the very least, a port to port cable.

Ease of Use Both the VGA and DVI connectors require the unbecoming and frankly barbarous tedium of tightening and loosening of screws on either side of the pin connector housing.
