Actually, I think as far as specs goes they are about even or Displayport may have the edge. Displayport is also suppose to be a open format, so there are not licensing fees, which can be nice.
That being said, Displayport can go the fuck away, we don't need another damn input because HDMI is perfectly fine. I bought my first HDTV right before DVI came out and it kind of left my high and dry. I have since bought a new HDTV with 4 HDMI, all of which are in use. Since HDMI has all but grabbed market dominance and manufactures will be pissing off and screwing a lot of customers if they for some reason think it is a good idea to switch to displayport.
I believe Displayport will supplant VGA and DVI on PC's.
1. Displayport is an open standard and it's Royalty free. (DVI and HDMIis neither.) 2. Displayport has the ability carry data in addditon to a video signal. 3. The interface is small. DVI (not counting Mini-DVI, at least the Standard plug, is not) the PC Mfr's will love space savings. 4. Apple is using it now as well as Lenovo. The others will follow soon.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”

This is the first I've ever heard of DisplayPort. I looked it up and HDMI is superior, so I don't expect it to last long.
