USB Type-C connector and cable start launching in smartphones, tablets and notebooks, they will also be able to support DisplayPort audio and video, thanks to a newly announced agreement between the USB 3.0 Promoter Group and the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA).</p> <!--break--> <p>The new feature is being called the DisplayPort Alternate Mode, or Alt Mode. According to VESA:</p>
<p>Using the DisplayPort Alt Mode, a USB Type-C connector and cable can deliver full DisplayPort audio/video (A/V) performance, driving monitor resolutions of 4K and beyond, SuperSpeed USB (USB 3.1) data and up to 100 watts of power–over a single cable. The DisplayPort Alt Mode can also drive adaptors that support the huge installed base of existing DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, and VGA displays.</p>
<p>The press release added that those cables and connections can also connect to a DisplayPort device using a reversible USB Type-C to DisplayPort converter cable. So far there's no word on exactly when the first USB Type-C products and cables will go on sale, but they are expected to become available sometime in early 2015. Do you think adding DisplayPort support to USB Type-C is a good idea?</p> <p>Source:
