About this deal

DisplayPort over USB-C enables the USB-C connector and cable to support the DisplayPort interface for audio/video (AV) transport capability. Whereas connectors like HDMI are commonly found on mainstream gaming consoles, televisions, monitors, and graphics cards, DisplayPort is more common in high-end devices. It's often seen in gaming monitors and is found in greater numbers on the latest graphics cards, like Nvidia's RTX 3000 and 4000 series, and AMD’s RX 6000 and 7000 GPUs. How does DisplayPort work? Will DisplayPort over USB-C provide the same level of performance and features as the standard DisplayPort connection?

Advantages of DP 2.0 are enjoyed across both the native DP connector as well as the USB Type-C connector An easy way to understand how this works is that although USB-C & Thunderbolt 3 use a different connector than DisplayPort, DisplayPort’s underlying technology, or protocol, is used to send the video information through those ports. This is great news for owners of newer laptops containing only a few USB-C ports, as they can still be connected to DisplayPort and other displays using some USB-C display adapters or Thunderbolt 3 adapters . The best part is that it’s available in three lengths – 3ft, 6ft, and 10ft. This gives you the flexibility of setting up your monitor is as per your convenience and preference. Maximum link rate to up to 20 Gbps/lane and features more efficient 128b/132b channel coding, delivering a maximum payload of 77.37 Gbps Note: It is now 2020, and this answer was written in 2011. At the time, the OP was probably referring to DisplayPort carried over the standard DisplayPort connector.

Yes. Adapters and Adapter cables are used to connect DisplayPort over USB-C to an HDMI/VGA input on the HDTV. If the HDTV has a DisplayPort input, then a USB-C to DisplayPort adapter cable can be used to provide DisplayPort display capability.

When using only two lanes on the USB-C connector via DP Alt Mode to allow for simultaneous SuperSpeed USB data and video, DP 2.0 can enable such configurations as:Three 4K (3840×2160) displays @144Hz and 30 bpp 4:4:4 HDR (with DSC) There aren’t a great number of DisplayPort 2.1 compatible displays or devices at the time of writing. AMD launched its RX 7000 series graphics cards at the end of 2022, and they are the only source device with a DisplayPort 2.1 connection for now. The only two DisplayPort 2.1 displays yet announced are Asus’ Swift PG32UQXR monitor, and Samsung’s next-generation Odyssey Neo G9 49-inch ultrawide 8K monitor – or at least a close approximation. It has a resolution of 7,680 x 2,160, so it’s more like two 4K monitor side by side.

About VESA

The Radeon software should alert you to the problem with an error message, but this is easy to miss when it pops up. Open the Radeon software and have a look at the notifications. The message will be: For USB Power Delivery, DisplayPort over USB-C cables can provide up to 100 watts. This is convenient for laptop users, as it's possible to maintain your laptop's charge via the connection to the monitor, meaning it's unnecessary to drag the charger around with you.

The first clue to a DisplayPort link failure will probably be your monitor switching to low resolution. This mainly affects AMD GPUs and usually occurs after waking your computer and monitor from sleep. Again, it’s a versatile cable and works on macOS and Windows systems. CableMatters claims that this one can support 8K resolution at 60Hz. However, you can rest assured that this DisplayPort cable works perfectly in 4K resolution at 60Hz. The system has detected a link failure and cannot set the requested resolution and refresh rate. Your display might not support the requested resolution or there may be an issue with the cable connecting the display to your computer."

DisplayPort To USB Adapters

One of the major advantages of DisplayPort over USB-C is that you can use it more easily in newer, slimmer devices such as notebooks, tablets, phones, or displays. Since the USB Type-C connector is the latest USB interface that almost all new devices sport, this reduces the number of ports required on any one device. But DisplayPort is more than just a cable. It's a set of standards. If you want to get the most out of your PC, your graphics card, or your monitor, then learning what DisplayPort is used for, and how best to take advantage of it , is an important step to take.
