So I stand corrected! So now whether you own a Mac or a PC you can run into the problem of needing to convert a DisplayPort or a mini DisplayPort output to an HDMI monitor input. Well yesterday – one of our Account Managers (Stephanie) showed me a Microsoft Surface Pro notebook that had the mini DisplayPort connection. Now, I have to make a confession, since in an earlier video in this series I mentioned that the mini DisplayPort connection was exclusive to Mac Users. Newer laptops and tablets are providing the DisplayPort or mini DisplayPort Connection. So with the shortcomings of both DVI and HDMI another standard was born and that standard is the DisplayPort. HDMI is not an open platform as it is a royalty based product from a company called Silicon Image. DVI will probably fade away soon as the group that created it no longer exists to upgrade the technology. First we should go over what exactly is a DisplayPort connection.īasically, the DisplayPort is the newest digital connection to fill a void where only DVI and HDMI used to be the only two digital players. Actually this is a very simple connection. Today we are going to talk about the DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort and what is involved to connecting to an HDMI input on a monitor.
