Comparing:
DisplayPort 1.0
DVI
DisplayPort 1.0, approved by VESA on May 3, 2006, was the original version of the royalty-free digital display standard. Its High Bit Rate (HBR) mode delivered 10.8 Gbps raw bandwidth across 4 lanes, with hot-plug detection and embedded digital audio built in from the start.
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) comes in five variants -- DVI-D (digital only, 19 or 25 pins), DVI-I (digital + analog, 23 or 29 pins), and DVI-A (analog only, 11 pins) -- with single-link supporting up to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz and dual-link up to 2560x1600 @ 60Hz.
