Display Port 2.0 - PC display standard gets a huge update!!!

VESE just published their new display port 2.0 video standard enabling support for resolutions greater than 8K, with higher refresh rates for 4k and VR applications. It will be launched in 2020 and includes bandwidth support of 80 Gbps max. It also supports HDR and supports 8k 120hz displays.

Specifications:

Single display resolutions:

One 16K (15360x8460) display @60Hz and 30 bpp 4:4:4 HDR (with DSC)
One 10K (10240x4320) display @60Hz and 24 bpp 4:4:4 (no compression)

Dual display resolutions:

Two 8K (7680x4320) displays @120Hz and 30 bpp 4:4:4 HDR (with DSC)
Two 4K (3840x2160) displays @144Hz and 24 bpp 4:4:4 (no compression)

Triple display resolutions:

Three 10K (10240x4320) displays @60Hz and 30 bpp 4:4:4 HDR (with DSC)
Three 4K (3840x2160) displays @90Hz and 30 bpp 4:4:4 HDR (no compression)

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 (3840×2160) displays @144Hz and 30 bpp 4:4:4 HDR (with DSC)
Two 4Kx4K (4096×4096) displays (for AR/VR headsets) @120Hz and 30 bpp 4:4:4 HDR (with DSC)
Three QHD (2560×1440) @120Hz and 24 bpp 4:4:4 (no compression)
One 8K (7680×4320) display @30Hz and 30 bpp 4:4:4 HDR (no compression)

Maximizing Gains on USB-C connector:

The performance increases enabled by DP 2.0 are through both native DP connectors and the USB-C connector via DP Alt Mode. USB-C allows a single connector for USB data, video data and power. If simultaneous support of SuperSpeed USB data and video is needed, the significantly increased data rates enabled by DP 2.0 give users the ability to have power and SuperSpeed USB data at the same time as super-high-resolution video.
