!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a digital display interface developed by a consortium of PC and chip manufacturers (particularly Maxell, Lattice, Philips and [Sony]) and standardized by the [Video Electronics Standards Association] ([VESA]). 


[{$pagename}] interface is primarily used to connect a [video] source to a display device such as a computer monitor, and it can also carry [audio], [USB], and other forms of [data].

DisplayPort was designed to replace [VGA], [DVI], and [FPD-Link]. The interface is backward compatible with other interfaces, such as [HDMI] and [DVI], through the use of either active or passive adapters.

[USB Type-C]
[{$pagename}] is combined [PCI Express] and the [USB Type-C] as part of [Thunderbolt] 3.x [Specification].

is a  [DisplayPort|https://www.displayport.org/displayport-over-usb-c/]  icon, which indicates that the port supports an  [Alternate Mode|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-C#Alternate_Mode_partner_specifications] , and a simple passive USB-C to DP cable (or a monitor that does a USB-C connection in DP mode) would work. Not all USB-C connectors support DisplayPort, so it is a very helpful marking to see “printed” on a device.
