DisplayPort was developed by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). It is primarily used to connect a digital video source such as a laptop or desktop PC to a monitor, it can also be used to transmit audio and other forms of data. It is being targeted as a computer interface and has been made to run alongside and complement HDMI, not replace it.
