According to officials, achieving a powerful end-to-end user visual experience remains a top priority for VESA's DisplayPort specification, Either via a native DisplayPort cable, via DisplayPort Alt mode (DisplayPort via a USB Type-C connector), or via a USB4 link tunnel. As a result, DisplayPort 2.1 enhances consistency with the USB Type-C specification as well as the USB4 PHY specification to facilitate a generic PHY that serves DisplayPort and USB4.
In addition, DisplayPort 2.1 adds a new DisplayPort bandwidth management feature that enables the DisplayPort tunnel to more efficiently coexist with other I/O data traffic over the USB4 link. This increased efficiency is on top of mandatory support for VESA's visual lossless display stream compression (DSC) codecs and VESA's panel replay capabilities.
According to Alan Kobayashi, Chairman of VESA's Board of Directors and chair of the VESA DisplayPort Task Force, given the significant overlap in use case models between DisplayPort and the USB4 ecosystem, Achieving greater consistency between DisplayPort and USB on a generic PHY has been a particularly important work in VESA, and this time DisplayPort 2.1 fuses DisplayPort with the USB4 PHY specification to ensure the highest video performance across a wide range of consumer products.
In addition, DisplayPort 2.1 updates the DisplayPort Cable specification to provide increased robustness and enhanced functionality for full-size and Mini DisplayPort cable configurations, resulting in improved connectivity and longer cable length performance without degrading the UHBR.
According to relevant media analysis, the update of the specification will make more DP-supported devices get a better experience, and interested users can stay tuned.
