  1. How can you tell what version your DP cable supports?


    Hi - I'm aware that DisplayPort is currently at version 1.4 with version 2 coming later this year....supposedly.
    I was just wondering...is there a way to tell which version a certain DP cable supports by looking at it? There's no version number printed on mine.

    Also, would the same cable support all versions of DP, and only the connected device changes the version depending on what version is implemented in the port where it's connected?

    :)

    Thank you, but are you sure that DP 1.2->HDMI 2.0 cables are for 15$? I'm just asking, because I've already seen many listings (like this) and mostly the version of DP/HDMI was unspecified, although the sellers claimed support up to just 1080p. The only 100% working adapter (according to what I've found) seems to be this one. And that, I have to admit, is a little more expensive than I expected.

    Thank you for a great idea! Seems like this is actually the best way to deal with the cable management. Found out that 2.0 HDMI cables can be bought for 3-4$ even here in my local shops and a cheap working DP->VGA (blaah, it actually hurts to waste a DP for something like this... *Big Grin How can you tell what version your DP cable supports? :D) costs about the same. Thank you once again *Smile How can you tell what version your DP cable supports? :)

    How can you tell what version your DP cable supports?

    No 4K resolution with DP cable

    See edits, but even with a functional cable my monitor still doesn't have the menu option to select DP versions. not a big deal though, it's working correctly now *Smile How can you tell what version your DP cable supports? :)

    Can Cortana tell what song is playing if you ask?: If you say "Hey Cortana, what song is this?"
