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.

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.

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.

Really helpful video, thank you so much for making this! Knowing which version is capable of what has been a big guessing game for most people, I'm sure.

Good breakdown. I imagine this won't get huge views, but this is definitely a good video resource that can be used for reference info for a long long time.

Shouldve included the yrs of each release in the table too

Great video. While I know this all now, this would have been very helpful when I bought a 1440p 144Hz ultrawide monitor, plugged it into my laptop with HDMI 1.4 and couldn't figure out why it looked terrible :)

Thanks for this Science Studio! And Merry christmas!

Definitely one of the best videos explaining this. Cheers mate.

Very comprehensive video, covers everything anybody would need to know about most of the differences. I still use DP because of headroom on variable framerates on emulators, but HDMI is great when you want to kick back in the living room and use a single remote to control everything.

Great video. Nice to hear the two ports explained side by side. I do however have a question. Where does USB-C fit within this space now that some of the newer GPU’s are adding a port for USB-C

Awesome video, and some amazing throughout on DP. Glad to be that little bit smarter thanks to you.

Now if i get asked about display outputs, capabilities and version support I have a video to link people to (a lot of people seem to forget cable versions matter too and the amount of times ive heard friends/family complain when things aren't quite right as a result is insane). Even learnt some stuff myself, Awesome stuff as always Greg 👌

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.

HDMI has the cable compatibility hurdle, yes. Less so with DP.

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.

Thank you this is very educational. And I realized I gotta move on to DP from HDMI at some point, but first I gotta upgrade my monitor where I can see the rainbow effect on white text on dark backgrounds.

This concept was very difficult to explain to my "average joe" clients while I was installing camera systems with HD NVR's. Some older HD televisions simply wouldn't display the source. They never understood why and some believed I was inexperienced and that I was making things up when I attempted to explain. How did I remedy this, well I made sure I had my 19" monitor with me in case I needed to "prove" my point. Ahhh the wonder years, lol. Great vid, thanks man.

@Greg Salazar . But why? You made compelling points in the video why they wouldn't include DP. Besides HDMI keeps getting updated, it's a port people already know of and is backwards compatible, and even according to your video 2.1 already supports 4K 120hz. Likely the only TVs that would get display port are basically just large scale gaming monitors and not really consumer TVs.

Nvidia 30 series cards only have Displayport 1.4. If you compare HDMI 2.1 to Displayport 1.4 you will find that HDMI 2.1 has a faster bit rate and supports more Hz at 1440p and below.

Seeing those 1K+ Hz/2K+ Hz rates for 1080p & 720p on DP 2.0 made my inner caveman dance in joy seeing such huge numbers, I wanted to try and clobber something over the head in happiness! XD

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)

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

Question: I have acquired lots of HDMI cables over the years and don't remember what version they are. Is there a way to tell the difference between them by physical appearance? Would it be printed on the cable itself somewhere? for example, one random cable I am looking at has "30AWG 80°C 30V High Speed HDMI Cable With Ethernet"...How do I know what kind of HDMI cable that is??
