Comparing:
DisplayPort 1.0
HDMI 1.0
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.
HDMI 1.0, released December 9, 2002 by a group of seven consumer electronics companies, was the original single-cable digital audio/video connector. It carried up to 4.95 Gbps over TMDS signaling -- enough for 1080p at 60Hz -- replacing separate analog video and digital audio cables with one connector.
