HDMI vs Display Port Explained 

Ikr it's really annoying

Because the HDMI is more about support your old screen, and connect your PC to the TV (because it's obviously more HDMI dependent on TV) You can't really have dual/triple/infinity screen on HDMI because the port is a multi-port itself and it's not designed to support the multi screen charge (5 screen in 4k weeell nop) You can always try to find a model in the manufacturer with only HDMI or Display port, it's only cable and card printing, should not affect so much performance (HDMI maybe a bit)

@@gbreuil1 Here in Brazil, is kinda rare to see a monitor with DP, only the best ones that need 144hz connection. The manufactures use DVI to support old monitors, but ones like samsung even has monitors 1080p that support HDMI + VGA (yes, VGA lol).

VGA is what it is popularly called here, you may know it as D-sub So here things are different, people buy monitors that supports they old computer's haha

@The Monster Under Your Bed I have only one and 3 Display ports on my rx5500xt x)

LOL it manager here , telling a user the difference and this came up on my phone tonight. My phone was in my pocket at the time.....

It's probably because Google is tracking you online. If you did a Google search for HDMI vs. DP, it would record that and show you recommended videos.

The license of something is a big thing for me.

That only matters if you are selling hardware the does not support HDMI. My video cards and monitors support both, therefore I paid the license fee even if I use DP.

The interface is primarily used to connect a video source to a display device such as a computer monitor, and it can also carry audio, USB, and other forms of data.

It's open no more so your GPU now will cost more to support both.

@@bigbunny6769 i can't find any info about that, can you point me to a source?

Well, glitches are way better than ripped out entrails of your devices ;-)

Just don't trip over things. Smh my head.

did it show no signal

Literally going insane though?

DP is the best in all sence because the interface is primarily used to connect a video source to a display device such as a computer monitor, and it can also carry audio, USB, and other forms of data. You can connect several monitors to the same line without adapters and with adapters it is the favorite for hub. And even that it is the faster.

@@jldmvlog1616 how do you connect to several monitors without an adapter?

​@@hakkgurl That question it's so specific, so in first terms, if you only have one port, for example, a VGA it is easy to build a splitter to connect more than one to the same port but that is only useful if you want to duplicate the screen. In contrast, if you want to extend the monitor to more than one the splitter is not usefull due to the fact that your PC only recognize one aditional screen, the easy way to do that is using the DisplayPort because this port was built to handle several signals at one time, at the end you only need to connect with the DisplayPort Cable to the computer and one monitor to the other monitor and so on, and that's enough to your OS handle each screen as multiple screen. And last but not least it's using your amount of physical video ports, for example in some Laptops is common to find VGA and HDMI ports along in it, so you can connect to monitors related to each port. On the other hand, if you are using a PC and your onboard video or your video card provides more than one physical video port you can do the same as in laptop connect one monitor in each port, most of the times you can enjoy of VGA, HDMI and DVI or S-Video. In my experience, for multiple monitors and handling them individually in extend mode you must use DisplayPort. The matter is, you can send and receive multiple indivual signals in the same cable if you are using DP port, that's why is worthly.

ugly

vga had its limited.. i would used dvi but now since my tv and card don't support them just get one of my xbox one hdmi and stick it in.. what a quility cable.. some cable it already broken..

Dont forget DVI

So many swooshes

less is more you know

What about a display port / Hdmi - with my monitor being 144hzs AND ps5 being able to go up to 120 hzs... with the DP to HDMI cable connected to ps5 and my monitor (obviously) will i go up to max 120 fps settings? PLEASE HELP WITH MY QUESTION. sorry for sweating ;)

@@eddycervantea7882 1440p 120 Hz is possible even over HDMI 2.0 but it will depend on the monitor if it allows that. On many HDMI is gimped to only support 60 Hz no matter what. So read the manual and see if has a table on supported res/refresh rates over HDMI. Over HDMI 2.0 PS5 also won't be able to make use of things like variable refresh rate etc. Well you could but again expect desktop displays to be shit in this regard.

@@ACmisquel yeah my monitor viewsonic 32inch 144hz monitor has hdmi 2.0 so i should be good

@@eddycervantea7882 get a pc

Op pop ii viii i

Finally nothing like "it depends..."

Lol

Mine has it, came from the box when I brought a monitor.

is that true even now in 2023?

Well, that's why I'm here! Was searching for a monitor with g sync, but they are expensive like hell. But heard you can go with Freesync and use DP but wasn't sure if HDMI was a better cable or not and if I was downgrading my Cable connection. Turns out I'm not!

I've considered making a more detailed one. This one I intentionally made very basic though.

@@eddycervantea7882 thats the question i have but no one seems to have the answer😫😫😫

Hmmmm so I'm getting a USB-C to DisplayPort cable to run from my MSI laptop to MSI monitor (I need it to take advantage of higher refresh rates and NVidia G-SYNC). When you say daisy chain DP/HDMI, can I connect my first monitor to my laptop via the USB-C to DP connection, then my second monitor to my first monitor via HDMI and still take advantage of the refresh rates and G-SYNC for gaming? I'm just trying to wrap my head around the process, it's wonderful connecting small laptop displays to nice monitors that truly boosts productivity. Is the main display setting DP if you daisy chain using HDMI also? Or will you have the option to pick either on the monitor's settings?

@@TheSoulCrisis As far as I know you can't daisy chain HDMI. DP has dedicated wires for USB data, but I am not sure if the new standard is up to USB3 specifications. Also using USB-C is essentially using DP or HDMI depending on how the video hardware since USB-C can carry either signal. If you can daisy chain your USB-C video the it is most likely carrying a DP type signal that allows for multiple monitors on a single cable run. HDMI is designed for T.V. and home theater so it is not designed for use with multiple monitors displaying different signals simultaneously with out the use of some sort of DP/USB-C hub that can spit the signal to multiple HDMI displays.

Same. I have two monitors with 1 vga 1 dvi 1 hdmi, each. My GTX 960 has 2 dvi ports 1 hdmi 1 DP. I use both DVI ports.

I never used HDMI. Conscious decision: DP is for computers, HDMI for consumer devices like TVs (yes, the lines *are* blurry these days).

Let me know if you find one haha I've been looking for a lightning bolt one but the good ones are all $200-$300....not really worth it imo
