DisplayPort is similar in many ways to HDMI but has added advantage that the signal can be sent to multiple devices.
The omni-presence of this connection means the cables are everywhere too, so there is usually a spare you can purloin in an emergency. With the HDMI, it’s an entirely different story, due to the all-pervasive presence of HDMI ports on every electronic equipment. If you happen to misplace it, any chance of you using your electronics for the next few days is out the window because it will take you that long to find a replacement. Once you’ve obtained this very single thing, you must take care of it like it’s your firstborn child. Unfortunately, the use of DVI connection involves the same annoying adaptor hardware, such as DVI-D to HDMI cable. But this will be dependent on which variety of DVI port your laptop has. To make things super complicated, you could even go down the route of using a VGA to DVI converter. One end of which will be either USB, HDMI, DisplayPort or an Apple product connection. But dependent on which type of connection you use, some are far more likely to require an adaptor than others.įor example, if you attempt to connect a laptop (lacking a VGA port) to an old overhead projector (which uses only VGA ports), it will be necessary for you to obtain an adaptor.
You need to be able to connect it from the video source (for example, your laptop), to the display source (like your projector).
Of course, each of these connections require at the very least, a port to port cable.
