Which is better for DP ports and HDMI ports?


There are video interfaces on computers and monitors. DP interface and HDMI interface are the most common video interfaces, which belong to digital HD interface. Today we are going to talk about DP ports and HDMI ports. What is the difference between them? Which is better?


What are the DP ports and HDMI ports


DP interface

DP Interface, short for DisplayPort, is a digital video interface standard developed by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA), a consortium of PC and chip manufacturers. This interface is mainly used to connect video sources to devices such as displays, but also supports carrying audio, USB, and other forms of data.



HDMI interface

HDMI interface, full name "high definition multimedia interface". The HDMI port is the most popular HD port, which supports both video and audio. If the display has a sound, you can achieve audio transmission, which is characterized by high resolution, small interface, support for uncompressed audio stream transmission, and rich protocols.




Which is better between DP port or HDMI port


Which is better, DP port or HDMI port? It's a case by case discussion. Overall, if the display is 1080P, the DP port and the HDMI port will work just fine.


If your monitor is 4K 120Hz and doesn't have an HDMI 2.1 port, or if your graphics card doesn't support HDMI 2.1, then you can only use the DP port.


Obviously, DP ports are more useful and compatible than HDMI ports.Which is better, DP port or HDMI port
