"VESA is also currently engaged with its members in the development of the next DisplayPort standard generation, with plans to increase the data rate enabled by DisplayPort by two-fold and beyond. VESA plans to publish this update within the next 18 months." At CES 2019, VESA announced that the new version would support 8K @ 60Hz without compression and was expected to be released in the first half of 2019. DP 2.0 configuration examples With the increased bandwidth enabled by DisplayPort 2.0, VESA offers a high degree of versatility and configurations for higher display resolutions and refresh rates. In addition to the above-mentioned 8K resolution at 60Hz with HDR support, UHBR20 through USB-C as DisplayPort Alt Mode enables a variety of high-performance configurations: Single display resolutions One 16K () display @ 60Hz with 10bpc (30bit/px, HDR) RGB/ 4:4:4 color (with DSC) One 10K () display @ 60Hz and 8bpc (24bit/px, SDR) RGB/ 4:4:4 color (uncompressed) Dual display resolutions Two 8K () displays @ 120Hz and 10bpc (30bit/px, HDR) RGB/ 4:4:4 color (with DSC) Two 4K () displays @ 144Hz and 8bpc (24bit/px, SDR) RGB/ 4:4:4 color (uncompressed) Triple display resolutions Three 10K () displays @ 60Hz and 10bpc (30bit/px, HDR) RGB/ 4:4:4 color (with DSC) Three 4K () displays @ 90Hz and 10bpc (30bit/px, HDR) RGB/ 4:4:4 color (uncompressed) When using only two lanes on the USB-C connector via DP Alt Mode to allow for simultaneous SuperSpeed USB data and video, DP 2.0 can enable such configurations as: Three 4K () displays @ 144Hz and 10bpc (30bit/px, HDR) RGB/ 4:4:4 color (with DSC) Two 4K × 4K () displays (for AR/VR headsets) @ 120Hz and 10bpc (30bit/px, HDR) RGB/ 4:4:4 color (with DSC) Three QHD () @ 120Hz and 8bpc (24bit/px, SDR) RGB/ 4:4:4 color (uncompressed) One 8K () display @ 30Hz and 10bpc (30bit/px, HDR) RGB/ 4:4:4 color (uncompressed) 2.1 VESA announced version 2.1 of the DisplayPort standard on 17 October 2022. This version incorporates the new DP40 and DP80 cable certifications, which test DisplayPort cables for proper operation at the UHBR10 (40Gbit/s) and UHBR20 (80Gbit/s) speeds introduced in version 2.0. Additionally, it revises some of the electrical requirements for DisplayPort devices in order to improve integration with USB4. In VESA's words: DisplayPort 2.1 has tightened its alignment with the USB Type-C specification as well as the USB4 PHY specification to facilitate a common PHY servicing both DisplayPort and
