Although the news could be received negatively by the early adoptersIn this case, no one will be left behind, since all the products that were already compatible with DisplayPort 2.0 will also be compatible with the new DisplayPort 2.1. This circumstance has the peculiar result that graphics cards like the new Intel Arc go from being DisplayPort 2.1 products despite having been announced as DisplayPort 2.0.
As reported by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) in its official press release, the update to the DisplayPort 2.1 standard incorporates a series of changes designed to perfect integration with the USB4 standard and the Type-C connector, offering improvements in PHY management and in bandwidth control so that data traffic “coexists” more efficiently. This, its engineers say, is necessary in order to take advantage of DSC video compression (described as “visually lossless”) over USB4 links.
Other changes introduced by DisplayPort 2.1 directly affect the length of the cables, which can now measure more than one meter in the case of the DP80 and exceed two meters in the case of the DP40, all without loss of performance UHBR (Ultra- HighBitRate). More specifically, VESA-certified DP40 cables will support UHBR10 (10 Gbps) transfers, while DP80 upgrades to UHBR20 (20 Gbps).
The rest of the features of DisplayPort 2.0 remain unchanged in its revision, making it possible to send video signal to monitors up to 16K with DSC compression (10K without compression) and multi-monitor systems with a maximum of three screens and 10K resolution (with DSC).
Since DisplayPort 2.0 products are effective immediately and retroactively DisplayPort 2.1, there is no discussion of release dates or availability times at this time.
