All HDMI and DisplayPort Versions EXPLAINED

I've got a graphics card market breakdown video coming very soon, along with a personal rig update! Stay tuned! Thanks for watching.

[@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing]

Greg, folks could use a stern talking to regarding cable selection and some decent recommendations. I've had to explain to some friends/family that the reason they couldn't get that Fancy GPU to make that Fancy Display run at it's full HDR/Resolution/RefreshRate/WhateverFeature is because either the disgustingly overpriced $40 Monster cable or even the pack-in DP cable that came with their display didn't have the bandwidth to bridge the two at full speed, and they were going to need some cheap $14 cable from Bob's Mainstreet PC Shop instead because it met the pipeline bandwidth, not some overpriced or inadequate Best Buy/Amazon garbage.

[@MiddleofKnowhere]

Great video. What monitor would you recommend for someone wanting something with high refresh rate for gaming, but also good color accuracy for doing video/image work as well? I've been looking at 27" 1440p IPS monitors that are G-Sync enabled/compatible/with module, but am stuck on what to go with. The ViewSonic Elite may check all the boxes, but I'm frozen on making a decision. I'd like 32" 4k but just don't think I need it atm and the cost increase may not be worth it. Thanks and great content.

The main thing that's an advantage compared from DP vs HDMI is that DP locks in the device like VGA did. On portable devices that move around a lot like the mini projector. The HDMI comes out VERY often.

You are doing the lord's work, Mr. Salazar. Excellent content.

[@savagemadman2054]

You dont need to daisy chain displays on Displayport, you can just get a hub and split the port multiple ways. Another advantage is that Displayport is more easily adapted to other display interface formats, including turning it into HDMI. The Displayport standard is also "free", while HDMI requires licensing to implement the physical connector.

That right there makes me wonder why hdmi is used anymore at all. DP should be standard for everything

I learned so much and was thoroughly satisfied to the point I subscribed to the channel. Never knew DP was so different than HDMI. I always wondered what those other ports on my graphic card were.

[@anoniemous2136]

I have a story about my own experience with the ryzen APU issues mentioned at 18:00 So I have a ryzen APU and a motherboard which supports HDMI 1.4, I figured out through trial and error that my motherboard can support 4k 60hz over HDMI 1.4 when connected to one monitor, but as soon as I add a monitor to the DP output, I get a heap of artifacting on the HDMI output until I turn the refresh rate down to 30hz to be in the HDMI 1.4 spec. So moral of the story, if you have a ryzen apu and motherboard which only supports HDMI 1.4, you _may_ be able to run a _single_ monitor at 4k 60hz. But if your going to do that, just use the DP output that is also on your motherboard.

[@mrphoto]

Thanks for explaining why the used the different connectors and I now understand that the HDMI cable was no more than a cable that added the audio into it for the longest time and that even now that by using the DVI port and the best up to grade cable for those ports that this is the port I will be using for all my connection from my video card to my gaming monitor for gaming while using the HDMI for my second monitor which is just a large screen tv that I use so I can watch tv off of the internet while I game or check email etc. on my main gaming monitor. I will also use the HDMI ports up first instead of the DVI when only adding extra monitors to watch my stock or crypto graphs because the extra refresh rate would only be wasted for that type use. This has been the first video I have seen explaining the difference in ports & cables giving me all the knowledge of why and what upgrades happened with each new version in a simple and clear way to understand without making it so complicated when it's not necessary.

At this point I don't understand why HDMI is still a thing it is years behind DP and if all devices used the same cable the tech would be better and cheaper to integrate in to more devices it needs to be the industry standard across all devices for video cable connection. The Universal Serial Bus standard already took the crown for a data transfer cables though there are too many types of USB connectors and right now IMO the Universal Serial Bus company needs to make USB type C cables the standard physical connector shape as it is reversible and more durable than other types of USB cables as well as being a USB cable that can do more stuff than other types of USB cables

[@Mr_D555]

Awesome, been searching two days for this info on HDMI vs DP.

[@zahidshabir4038]

One thing that bugs me out is that many cable manufacturers and certain device manufacturers NEVER advertise the version of HDMI or DP that the cable or connector on the device can support also would love to see film studios start making high refresh rate content since 4K 120 Hz is starting to become more widely available and 24-30 FPS for films and TV shows is a joke since PC games have had 60 Hz for YEARS and 120 Hz since at least 2006 because of DP 1.0 and this will also truly help fight those people who hate high refresh rates because they have been console gaming and watching 24-30FPS content that they call "CINEMATIC" all their lives and are the REAL peasants of the gaming industry (not all console gamers are peasants just the ones who shit talk on PC gamers and hate high refresh because they are too fast for us or some other BS reasons)

Features in DisplayPort cables are by speed of the bandwidth the user needs to drive particular combo of GPU+Monitor at particular refresh rate, HDR etc, all features between DisplayPort cables being the same but the bandwidth deciding what version features are enabled.
