Using a mini DisplayPort (mDP) connector does not affect performance or feature support of the connection. These connectors differ only in physical shape, the capabilities of DisplayPort are the same regardless of which connector is used. DisplayPort cables and ports may have either a "full-size" connector or a "mini" connector. For example, DisplayPort version 1.2 and above supports Multi-Stream Transport (MST) or daisy-chaining compatible monitors.

The DVI connector on a device is one of three types, depending on which signals it implements: DVI-A (analog only), DVI-D (digital only, single link or dual link), and DVI-I (integrated, combines digital and analog in the same connector digital may be single or dual link. ĭVI is digital visual interface that can transmit digital video signals only. The standard VGA monitor interface is a 15-pin D-subminiature connector. VGA is the most common video connector available on many devices.
