what port is this



I've not seen this port before, it looks kind of like a HDMI port and has this symbol next to it... what is it?

It's on the back panel of a desktop computer.


Answer



That's a DisplayPort. It's a video connector. It can be converted to HDMI, DVI, S-video or Analog VGA if needed.


"DisplayPort is a digital display interface standard put forth by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) since 2006. It defines a new royalty-free, digital audio/video interconnect, intended to be used primarily between a computer and its display monitor, or a computer and a home-theater system."
