DisplayPort vs HDMI: Why It’s Better

Read Time: 2 min.

EDP, or Embedded Display Port, allows for embedded displays on laptops and tablets by placing fancy displays inside, making it cooler than an internal one without pixels.

I hate it when I’m forced to watch boring PowerPoint presentations. The idea of having a smooth, high-resolution display on my laptop is such a waste of time. HDMI just feels so limiting, like it’s holding me back from doing something truly amazing.

But no, DisplayPort can do that and more. It’s the future of video connectivity, and I’m going to show you why.

Okay, first off, let’s talk about this thing called EDP. Embedded Display Port. You know, when they put a fancy display on your laptop or tablet because it’s so much cooler than an internal one that looks like a giant screen with no pixels? It makes you wonder why they even bothered putting in the port in the first place.

And then there’s this weird feature called DP++. It can output a native HDMI signal through a physical DisplayPort connector, which means adapters are simple and cheap to construct. Perfect for anyone who wants a display on their laptop but doesn’t have one that supports it out of the box.

But let’s talk about daisy chaining. Ever had two monitors? Or maybe four? You know, because you’re so excited about your multi-monitor setup? Well, DisplayPort can do all that and more. Just run another cable from one monitor to the next. And guess what? It doesn’t even need a special adapter like HDMI does.

And then there’s this feature called displayport dual mode or DP++, which means you can output a native HDMI signal through a physical DisplayPort connector. This is where things get really cool, especially if you have a limited number of ports on your computer to begin with.

But I can’t stop talking about it at this point. So let’s just say that DisplayPort might be the way forward for video connectivity. And if you’re reading this, I hope you’ve already started making plans to upgrade your hardware so you don’t have to deal with HDMI any longer.

Thank you, DisplayPort.
