The answer becomes quite literally, crystal clear once used with Hi-Def Media such as Blu-Ray, monitor or laptop connections – DisplayPort boasts to hold the only technology that manages to display every pixel on screen with the fastest refresh rates, allow constant technology upgrades without losing the ability to connect to devices that utilize HDMI, DVI or VGA . With a 10 gigabit colour standard, DisplayPort Cables have the potential to set the future standard in high performance digital connectors. The DisplayPort cable is clean and simple, allowing for the removal of a lot of annoying cords and cables to create a more aesthetically pleasing environment.

Furthermore, the DisplayPort connector is ready built for Blu-ray discs with additional support for HDCP.
