Display technology has been involving rapidly, especially since LED panels became the standard instead of cathode ray tubes. As Al Williams says in his post, &#8220;Low end laptops have a million pixels, UHD (\u201c4K\u201d) displays\u00a0have 8 millio,n and the latest Full Ultra HD (\u201c8k\u201d) displays have over 33 million pixels.\u00a0Updating all those pixels takes a lot of bandwidth \u2013 to update a 4k display at 60 Hz refresh rates takes close to a gigabyte per second. 8 billion bits \u2013 that is a lot of bits!&#8221; This is why HDMI and DisplayPort technologies are replacing VGA and DVI ports &#8212; they&#8217;re more capable of handling the large amounts of data.<\/p>\n<p>Check out Hamster&#8217;s project and let us know what you make of it!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style6 like-11219 jlk' data-task='like' data-post_id='11219' data-nonce='5286a1c13f' rel='nofollow'><img src='https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post-pro\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-11219 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style6 unlike-11219 jlk' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='11219' data-nonce='5286a1c13f' rel='nofollow'><img src='https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post-pro\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-11219 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div> <div class='status-11219 status align-left'>Be the 1st to vote.<\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn more about Hamster used the Nexys Video for working with DisplayPort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":11234,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4327,35],"tags":[1662],"ppma_author":[4464],"class_list":["post-11219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-projects","category-fpga","tag-fpga"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/displayport-cable-blogview.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"authors":[{"term_id":4464,"user_id":7,"is_guest":0,"slug":"amber_mear","display_name":"Amber Mear","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/d0fc56ab4035f79884675bde2a948e84c1d14dd33b730b4c142dde6f1a962395?s=96&d=mm&r=g","1":"","2":"","3":"","4":"","5":"","6":"","7":"","8":"","9":"","10":""}],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11219\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11219"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=11219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
