DisplayPort 2.0 monitors will be postponed until later this year

The Video Electronics Standards Association officially launched the DisplayPort 2.0 specifications in 2019, and the first batch of displays that support the protocol should be listed in 2020 according to the association’s commitment.

However, the DisplayPort 2.0 monitors currently supporting the agreement have not arrived as scheduled, and the association stated that the launch of these new monitors may be delayed due to the negative impact of the epidemic.

Because hardware engineers were unable to hold regular meetings for discussions and docking in accordance with the practices of previous years, this slowed down the adaptation progress of the new protocol in terms of interoperability.

Specifically, these new displays may be on the market in the second half of this year at the end of this year at the latest, when consumers can buy displays that support the new standards.

According to the official spokesperson of the association, hardware engineers around the world affected by the epidemic cannot hold regular gatherings to discuss in accordance with the procedures of previous years.

This has led to many negative effects including slow compatibility and adaptation of certain interoperability, but the association is trying to solve the problem that hardware engineers cannot communicate.

As planned, the association will hold a seminar in Taiwan this spring, when major operating system developers and hardware manufacturers will send engineers to participate.

This will help speed up the adaptation of system chips related to the DisplayPort 2.0 monitors, and if it goes well, new displays that support the protocol will arrive at a later date.

At that time, consumers can choose a new display equipped with the DisplayPort 2.0 monitors launched by the manufacturer, whose performance is better than the HDMI standard currently used mainly.
