I forgot to archive the original refresh rate charts we created, but you can always screenshot them for future reference!

I've got a graphics card market breakdown video coming very soon, along with a personal rig update! Stay tuned! Thanks for watching.

[YounesLayachi]

I hadn't realised how much better DP was compared to HDMI until recently

[galiant]

Greg, this is fantastic. Im studying for my CompTIA A+ certification currently and I gotta say, you explain this way better than any A+ instructor I've watched. Excellent sir.

[ElTeeger]

Never knew the difference. Very educational

[GumikoVT]

I would love to see a video like this about USB.

I know all this stuff already but I know one lucky viewer may have received PC parts to build their first PC this Xmas, and they'll be grateful for this video :3

[zercoolninja]

Build my rig and got my windows Key from your link. Works great it HIGHLY recommend it

This is awesome Greg! I’ve always had a hard time explaining why DisplayPort was better than HDMI to my not-so-techie friends. It’s too bad HDMI is so prevalent in TVs right now, but it’s not like they need anything more than that.

This concept was very difficult to explain to my "average joe" clients while I was installing camera systems with HD NVR's. Some older HD televisions simply wouldn't display the source. They never understood why and some believed I was inexperienced and that I was making things up when I attempted to explain. How did I remedy this, well I made sure I had my 19" monitor with me in case I needed to "prove" my point. Ahhh the wonder years, lol. Great vid, thanks man.

[comfy]

Great video. While I know this all now, this would have been very helpful when I bought a 1440p 144Hz ultrawide monitor, plugged it into my laptop with HDMI 1.4 and couldn't figure out why it looked terrible :)

[ElMalito]

Fun fact: Legend has it Greg Salazar is still explaining the standard types of HDMI and DP to this today.

Cheers 🍻

The main thing that's an advantage compared from DP vs HDMI is that DP locks in the device like VGA did. On portable devices that move around a lot like the mini projector. The HDMI comes out VERY often.

I was using HDMI for the last 3 years for my gaming laptop. I just bought a hdmi to displayport cable and I'm excited

[Appalling]

Dude, I absolutely ADORE this kind of informative content. Thank you for the video!

[Iamsubhankarghosh]

Thank you very much for making it clear to go with which HDMI and DP cables for Gaming. The shop owners were unable to explain this to me. Love from India.

[aaronprimus]

Shouldve included the yrs of each release in the table too

[TheVillainOfTheYear]

You are doing the lord's work, Mr. Salazar. Excellent content.

[brandonalexander]

I had to switch to DP after i realized my monitor maxes at 4K 60hz with HDMI but has 4K 75hz with display port

[guywithFX]

Cool video Greg. Great to see these discussed in depth. Something that comes to mind in better understanding these specs would be the display industry’s improvement in input lag and how it impacted different use cases for connections like casual gaming, FPS games, online games, movies, pc monitor use. Also it would be nice to see the year released in the spreadsheet view. Thanks and keep up the content. :)
