DP or HDMI is better

Recently, a friend asked me whether I should use DP (DisplayPort) or HDMl (High-Definition MultimediaInterface) for external monitors. As a digital enthusiast, I have also struggled with this question. Today we will talk about the difference between these two interfaces and their respective advantages and disadvantages, I hope to help you make a better choice.

Resolution and refresh rate support I DP interface is more excellent in resolution and refresh rate support.DP interface can support 4K120Hz or 8K60Hz transmission, which is very useful for users who need high resolution and high refresh rate. For example, if you are a gamer or need to handle HD video with HDR and G-SYNC technology, the DP port will perform better. The HDMI 2.0 version, on the other hand, although it can also support 4K@60Hz and 8K@60Hz transmission, does not perform as well as DP in terms of high resolution and high refresh rate.

Functionality and compatibility comparison eve

DP interface supports multi-screen display and dynamic resolution adjustment, which is very practical for users who need to multitask and complex interface switching. The HDMI port, on the other hand, supports more audio formats such as DTS:X and Dolby for better compatibility for home theater and device compatibility. As an example if you are a home theater enthusiast, the HDMI interface may be more suitable for you as it offers a wider range of device connections and a better audio experience.

Price and Performance Analysis

HDMI cables are relatively cheaper and more cost-effective. For those who are on a limited budget, choosing an HDMI CABLE is a good choice. While DP cables, although higher bandwidth and lower power consumption, will be a bit higher in price. While DP is higher in terms of hardware cost, its bandwidth and versatility make it perform more in line with demand in high-end applications. If you want higher picture quality and better performance from your external monitor, the DP port would be a better choice.
