When configuring a daisy chained monitor setup, it is important to take into consideration two aspects. First, GPUs usually have an inherent limitation in how many simultaneous displays they can drive; some can drive up to three displays, while others can drive four or even six. Second, even though DisplayPort 1.2 offers the higher pixel rate available, there is a limitation in how many pixels can be sent down the display pipe. The table below provides maximum monitor count vs. display resolution, based and DisplayPort 1.2 bandwidth limits: Accidental Damage-Additional Information: Accidental Damage Service excludes theft, loss, and damage due to fire, flood or other acts of nature, or intentional damage. Customer may be required to return damaged unit to Dell. Limit of 1 qualified incident per contract year. For more information, consumers visit Accidental Damage Service Contract (Consumer) or commercial customers visit Accidental Damage Service Contract (Commercial). DisplayPort has higher bandwidth than HDMI. DisplayPort has a maximum bandwidth of 77.4 Gbps, while the HDMI has a bandwidth of 4.95Gbps.

USB-C can transmit video, audio, and power through one cable from the same port, while DisplayPort can only transmit video and audio.The DisplayPort (DP) input looks like an L-shaped header connecting cable (see cable types here) that assumes an asymmetric shape.

USB-C can be used in computer and smartphone connections, while a DisplayPort can not connect a smartphone.

Improve multitasking and increase productivity by configuring the hub to work as a splitter with the same video image on each display, extending a video image to multiple displays, or expanding a video image by joining multiple monitors together as one display. The hub is ideal for a multiple display desk setup and the light-weight, small form factor, also makes it easy to carry while traveling or just on the go As you may have already experienced, a key benefit of a multi-monitor setup is increased productivity and seamless multi-tasking. And when you aren’t feeling so productive, it offers a wonderfully immersive gaming experience as discussed here in a previous blog post. DisplayPort structure allows for transmission of several data streams simultaneously using one connection. The market share is notably high in other states like Canada and Japan. Canada has a 23.4% compound annual growth rate, while Japan has a 20.2 compound annual growth rate projected over the next five years.

Out of the 957 million units market share of DisplayPort, the United States holds a share value of 257.2 million units. The value of This share accounts for more than 26.9%. China comes second with a compound annual growth rate of 31.8%. China is expected to reach a 1.2 Billion Units-share over the next five years. Because of its 3:1 compression ratio DisplayPort offers a superior bandwidth of 32.4 Gbps which will drastically reduce screen tearing. You’ll experience a loss-less screen quality that makes complex tasks a breeze. In terms of resolution and refresh rate, there isn’t enough of a difference between DisplayPort and HDMI to business people to use one or the other. But in terms of physical functionality, the ability to chain monitors with a DisplayPort could make a significant impact on one's workflow. USB-C has an effective bandwidth of 10Gbps while the DisplayPort has an effective bandwidth of 77.4Gbps.DisplayPort can transmit a signal to several display units using one cable while a VGA can not. You can make use of the daisy-chaining feature. This is a practical example in DisplayPort version 1.3.
