DisplayPort

DisplayPort provides digital connection between your computer and display devices such as monitors, projectors, and so on. It supports both video and audio signals. DisplayPort was designed specifically to be used with computer displays.

Mini DisplayPort

NOTE DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort are compatible with each other but the ports and connectors vary in size. If the port sizes are different, use a converter.

  • Supports plug-and-play adapters that allow you to connect displays using older connection standards such as DVI, HDMI, and VGA
