[@REXXSEVEN]

It would make sense if the DisplayPort cable configuration is used in those restaurants and fast food chains where they have the menus displayed on multiple LCD screens that are alongside each other. Sometimes you see 4 and 5 screens in a row next to each other. So it would make sense to use DisplayPort for the cable setup rather than individual video cables. Seems like that setup would use a lot less wiring and a lot less internal Hardware on the video source equipment.

if i have high end graphics card like NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GTX 1070Ti with 8GB GDDR5 Graphics Memory, which cable should i use to get best performance out of my Computer Moniter ? Thank you in advance

Only the information I need to understand cable connector uses for myself as a consumer. I was totally in the dark and now I'm somewhat enlightened. Well explained thank you for putting this up! Don't run away . . . . . I may have to come back for a reminder.

USB versions are identifiable by their color inside the connector. White is 1.0, black is 2.0, dark blue 3.0, light blue 4.0, all with successive and higher data rates.

[@playfulsteps9249]

Make sure you match the colors to the right ports as some computers may have different versions for backwards compatibility.

[@greatwhiteshark68]

AHA That makes so much more sense now with the DVI single link over the DVI dual link cables, that's why I couldn't gain anything over 1920*1200 resolution so DVI - Dual on my slower hardware and HDMI from now on my faster hardware !! ..... excellent work @ PowerCert

[@Jorge-E]

Very objective the explanation. Thank you for upload this video!!

[@Justin-pu5pb]

Love your videos! I hope you keep this up.

[@tempemail5337]

Just the video I was looking for. Short, sweet, to the point about all the differences for these cables. Tried to connect a second computer DisplayPort adapter to dvi-d and no signal. Older monitor and or drivers and display management software etc. even the DVI-d to VGA port on monitor still don’t work. Now I’m beginning to understand that not everything on monitors is just plug and play, and learned some are bidirectional and others cables and connectors are one direction only, some older monitors WIN XP cannot support newer co liters running windows 10 enterprise etc. sheesh lots to learn for a so called simple dual monitor project I had at work. They basically need to buy a newer upgraded monitor with a displayport connector on both ends to max resolution output or daisy-chain additional monitors etc. Thanks. 😀

[@Bippy55]

July 28, 2020 - Thank you. Your explanation was as clear as eight or 10 K video. No wonder I have so many adapters in my tech drawer. Thank you for clearing up some ongoing confusion. The one problem many folks have commented on is that the newer connectors are fragile. And have a high pin density.

[@stephensnell5707]

Actually the modern connectors are stronger and more durable than what the extinct VGA connector would ever be

[@Bippy55]

@@stephensnell5707 Hi Stephen... Thanks for your comment. I do hope today's connectors are more durable and are seated to stay. Yet allow easy removal when changing TVs and the like. Perhaps I have to admit that I still remember the locking screws to the left and right of older computer connectors. But tech marches on. Thanks again.

[@stephensnell5707]

@@Bippy55 no problem The reason I said what I said to you in my Comment is when I grew from a teenager I found tech really cool Just so you know I am currently a 29 year old Adult but on November 10th,2023 I will become the age of 30

I never knew HDMI had so many versions. Great video! Really enjoying your channel.

[@krane15]

Which is part of the conspiracy and confusion. Unless they all match on all your equipment your best speed (picture resolution/frequency) will only be as fast as the component with the slower generation. In other words, your new HDMI 2.1 device will only display HDMI 1.4 quality.

[@ryans413]

HDMI only has to versions 1.4 or 2.1 there where many cables in the beginning that offers different speeds like 2gb 3gb 6gb. Different bandwidths but all the cables were still 1.4 compatible with all other devices. Like the guy said HDMI 1.4 can do up to 4K at 30hz. It’s confusing but all HDMI cables now can do 4K 30hz they are all made the same and of you buy a cable that’s 2.1 then you can do 4K 60hz
