VESA Introduces DisplayPort Dual-Mode 1.1 standard compatible with 4K HDMI (Ultra HD)

Posted by Steve

VESA gives computers the possibility to  join the 4k dance  like all television manufacturers and reduce cable clutter by introducing a new update to DisplayPort Dual-Mode.

This new 1.1 standard is compatible with HDMI 1.4a and supports all of the highest resolutions available: UltraHD (4k), 3D 1080p60 and 1080p deep color (read billions or more). You will, of course,  need a new DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter once new graphic cards and devices will be available later this year.

As you might know, DisplayPort Dual-Mode can already drive up to 6 1080p60 screens or 4k but with this new standard, you will know have the possibility to drive HDMI 1.4 TVs with a single cable. And we’ll take anything that can reduce the number of cables running across all our devices, no?…

Official press release.
