VESA has announced the DisplayPort 2.0 impressive specifications that we should start seeing on monitors by the end of next year. These features include a massive jump in data bandwidth to 80 Gbps that will support two 8K displays at 120Hz with HDR. You can even run a 16K HDR display at 60Hz with only one cable. Let’s take a closer look at how DisplayPort 2.0 will change computer monitoring. DisplayPort 2.0 – New Standard for 8K HDR and Beyond DisplayPort 2.0 is probably the most significant update to this PC display standard since the introduction of the VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) in 2006. With a bandwidth of 80 Gbps, this updated standard will more than double the actual bandwidth of DisplayPort 1.4 (32.40 Gbps with an HBR3 cable). But what does this increase mean?
