DisplayPort is an extensible industry standard intended to consolidate both external (box-to-box) and internal (LCD panel) display connections. The Promoter Group (made up of ATI, Dell, Genesis Microchip, HP, Molex, NVIDIA, Philips, Samsung and Tyco) developed the initial specification and handed it off to VESA on August 17, 2005. The electrical interface is similar to the PCI Express physical layer and it provides a small, user-friendly external connector. DisplayPort can accommodate 4 connectors on a PCI card and has support for cables up to 15 meters in length. There is also a comparison chart that compares the technology to both DVI and HDMI.
