4 Reasons Why DisplayPort Cables Will Never Get Outdated!

What in your opinion is an ultimate viewing experience? Ask this question to different people and you will get different answers. Some might say “good resolution!” Others might say “unmatchable virtual indulgence.” In today’s age of virtual and augmented realities, we do not settle for mediocre quality video watching immersion. We like to use devices and ports that provide us excellent results. There are times when we underrate DisplayPort Cables – the interface we use to connect video source to display devices.

However, the popularity of DisplayPort standards does not seem to be fading anytime soon. Reason? One can get outstanding features, high resolution, and multi-streaming. After its initial utility with desktops and laptops, a lot of mainstream devices use them. Today, we have come up with 4 reasons to help you understand why these cables will never get outdated.

Excellent Gaming Experience

Gamers love advanced graphics. They want a first-rate gaming display and multiple monitor capabilities. DisplayPort Cables provide exactly that. Imagine getting a 4K Ultra HD support at 60Hz through a single cable. Wouldn’t that be an epitome of a great resolution? PlayStation lovers can further enhance their gaming experience by using multiple monitors. So, when it comes to PC gaming, thanks to display port cables, one does not need to wear head-mounted display anymore.

Legacy Interface Compatibility

With electronics, you must have observed that there is a release of new interface connectors quite often. Unfortunately, this happens even before the consumers are ready with latest peripherals. One more constraint about new technology is – budget. As things get expensive, there is a lesser inclination towards buying them. But this does not stand true for DisplayPort. They provide backward compatibility with old versions. So, one can upgrade DisplayPort PCs without replacing HDMI, VGA or DVI display.

Enhanced Productivity

When you see a developer working on two or three monitors at once, you find it quite cool, don’t you? Well, it is not just about the way it looks but also about boosting productivity. By using 3 monitors instead of one, you can complete tasks efficiently. Moreover, do not have to undergo through the repetitive resizing of windows to fit on the monitor screen. A DisplayPort named Multi-Stream Transport (MST) is all you need to display signals on multiple monitors. It supports high resolution graphic and divides signals into different video streams. An awesome product to boost your productivity in today’s fast times!

Mobile to Big Screen Streaming

Mobiles of course, are our first preference for indulging into several audio-visual activities. But, what if you want to watch a movie available on your mobile on a bigger screen? The Mobility DisplayPort enables you to do so. You can connect your phone and stream videos on a DisplayPort or HDMI compatible monitor. It offers a superior quality video, audio and 3D content viewing experience. Using it, you can view your content at 1080p full HD resolution, 24-bit color, and 60Hz.
