If you need to send a signal to a modern display then you will need to use DisplayPort or HDMI connectors. HDMI is the most common standard that is used around the world. You can get DisplayPort connectors on monitors but not on TVs.<\/p><div class=\"gf-info-box\">HDMI 1.4 is the most common and you will need to use it if you are interested in gaming at 1080p or 1440p. It can support higher refresh rates at both resolutions but if you are interested in gaming at 4K 60 FPS then you will need to go with HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort. You will also need HDMI 2.0 or better if you are interested in taking advantage of HDR.<\/div><p>HDMI 2.0 does not depend on the cable but on the output and input devices. If both your display and graphics card support the feature then all you need to do is turn the feature on.

There are multiple kinds of HDMI standards in 2019. HDMI 1.4, for example, supports multi-channel audio unlike other options on this list and can also transfer ethernet data. The standard also supports superior color depth. HDMI also supports a wide variety of video formats including up to 4K at 30 Hz.<\/p><div class=\"gf-minus-box\">There are a couple of drawbacks of using HDMI 1.4. There is no locking mechanism to hold the connector in place, unlike DVI and VGA. It is limited to 4K at 30 FPS, so if you are interested in gaming at 4K 60 FPS then you will have to choose a better connector. It also does not officially support 21:9 aspect ratio ultrawide monitors which have become popular in 2019. It also does not support multiple concurrent video streams.<\/div><p>HDMI 2.0 is a newer standard which gets rid of most of the issues that we have stated here but there is still no locking mechanism to hold the connector in place. It is worth mentioning that this is the most popular standard that is used all over the world. HDMI connectors are available in different sizes. A full-size HDMI connector is called Type A, there is a mini version that is called Type and there is an even smaller micro version called Type D that can be used with smartphones or tablets.<\/p><p>You might think that you need a new cable to switch from HDMI 1.4 to 2.0 but that is not the case. The change is in the output device and the input device rather than the cable. This means that your graphics card and display need to support HDMI 2.0 and that you do not need to change the cable.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb94d42 gf-img-border elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cb94d42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamingfeature.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/hdmi-cable-pg6nerq8t2q75fsv18x5mhgnpgwme3inu7d3thg6mg.jpg\" title=\"hdmi cable\" alt=\"hdmi cable\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">HDMI Cable<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6c77b9a8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6c77b9a8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7b05fded\" data-id=\"7b05fded\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-fcc9321 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"fcc9321\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-6822caa9\" data-id=\"6822caa9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d2c3ece elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4d2c3ece\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_DisplayPort\"><\/span>What is DisplayPort?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>Unlike HDMI DisplayPort does have a locking connector. It can be converted to any other standard that is included on this list, even the outdated VGA standard. DisplayPort 1.2 supports 4K at 60 FPS and multiple video streams. It can transfer audio and network data with video and also supports other data signals. The standard supports stereoscopic 3D and officially supports 21:9 aspect ratio ultrawide monitors as well.<\/p><p>The DisplayPort 1.3 standard makes things even better and supports 8K at 60 Hz, 4K stereoscopic 3D and adaptive sync that removes screen tearing from games. One of the cons is that you can only find these connectors in gaming monitors and not in TVs. DisplayPort 1.4 is a relatively new standard that is being adopted slowly. This standard can support 8K but can also support 4K at 144 Hz.<\/p><p>Keep in mind that 4K 144 Hz monitors are not common and that if you are able to find one then you will have to pay a hefty premium for it. Another thing to keep in mind is that you will need an extremely powerful PC in order to run games at 4K 144 FPS. The top of the line graphics card from Nvidia, the RTX 2080 Ti is marketed to run games at 4K 60 FPS and reducing the in-game settings might give you an extra frame but realistically you are not going to hit 144 FPS at 4K.<\/p><p>Unless some miracle graphics card comes out in the upcoming few months or so that can run games at 4k 144 FPS this is not something that we can recommend. It does mean that DisplayPort 1.4 is a future-proof standard and that if you do choose this connector then you will be using it for a long long time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7dcabe5c gf-img-border elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7dcabe5c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamingfeature.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/DisplayPort-cable.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-7978\" alt=\"DisplayPort cable\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gamingfeature.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/DisplayPort-cable.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.gamingfeature.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/DisplayPort-cable-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">DisplayPort Cable<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-55e93382 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"55e93382\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-76e3dc0a\" data-id=\"76e3dc0a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-6f57e80a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6f57e80a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-4c0a7150\" data-id=\"4c0a7150\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f5c28e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7f5c28e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_DVI\"><\/span>What is DVI?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>DVI is actually much better than VGA but is becoming obsolete with each passing day. You have two screws on either side just like what you get with VGA but the connector is physically larger and it is often white. DVI connectors are available in a number of types such as DVI-I and DVI-D. With inexpensive adapters, it can drive not only DVI but HDMI and VGA display as well. A single link DVI link is limited to 1920&#215;1200 resolution at 60 Hz but a dual link connection can support 2560&#215;1600 at 60 Hz which is very impressive indeed compared to what VGA offers you.<\/p><p>There are a couple of drawbacks when using DVI. The connector us bulky and it does not support the modern variety of color spaced and it cannot cover audio.

It is fully reversible and offers cross-platform compatibility. Not only can it be used to output video, it can also be used to transfer data, transmit audio power and even internet. You can get all kinds of dongles and connect different devices to your laptop with only a single port. That is very impressive indeed.
