{{Main|DisplayPort}}
DisplayPort is a digital display interface developed by the [[VESA|Video Electronics Standards Association]] (VESA). The interface is primarily used to connect a video source to a [[display device]] such as a [[computer monitor]], though it can also be used to transmit audio, USB, and other forms of data.<ref name="ICCE">{{cite web|url=http://www.vesa.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/ICCE-Presentation-on-VESA-DisplayPort.pdf|title=DisplayPort Technical Overview|date=January 10, 2011|publisher=VESA.org|access-date=23 January 2012|archive-date=12 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201112010053/http://www.vesa.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/ICCE-Presentation-on-VESA-DisplayPort.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref>
The VESA specification is [[royalty-free]]. VESA designed it to replace [[Video Graphics Array|VGA]], [[Digital Visual Interface|DVI]], and [[Low-voltage differential signaling|LVDS]]. Backward compatibility to VGA and DVI by using adapter [[dongles]] enables consumers to use DisplayPort fitted video sources without replacing existing display devices. Although DisplayPort has a greater throughput of the same functionality as [[High-Definition Multimedia Interface|HDMI]], it is expected to complement the interface, not replace it.<ref name="dpfaq">{{Cite news|title=FAQ Archive – DisplayPort|publisher=VESA|url=http://www.displayport.org/faq/faq-archive/|access-date=2012-08-22|archive-date=2020-11-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201124200254/https://www.displayport.org/faq/faq-archive/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Direct2Dell_DPvsHDMI">{{cite web|url=http://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/direct2dell/b/direct2dell/archive/2008/02/19/46464.aspx|title=The Truth About DisplayPort vs. HDMI|work=dell.com|access-date=2013-03-13|archive-date=2014-03-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140301024953/http://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/direct2dell/b/direct2dell/archive/2008/02/19/46464.aspx|url-status=live}}</ref>
