Which statement about the Mini DisplayPort (mDP) and standard DisplayPort (DP) connectors is accurate?
The connectors are physically identical, allowing a Mini DisplayPort cable to plug directly into any DisplayPort port without an adapter.
They carry the same DisplayPort signal, but the Mini DisplayPort connector is physically smaller, so a proper cable or adapter is required when the port sizes differ.
Mini DisplayPort supports only up to 1080p resolution, whereas standard DisplayPort supports 4K and higher resolutions.
They use completely different signaling standards, so devices with one connector cannot communicate with the other even through an adapter.
Mini DisplayPort is a smaller form-factor connector that carries the exact same DisplayPort digital video/audio signal as a full-size DisplayPort connector. Because only the shell dimensions differ, you need a cable or adapter with the correct-sized plugs when connecting a device that has mDP to one that has a full-size DP port. Other claims-that the two use different protocols, that mDP is limited to 1080 p, or that the plugs are physically identical-are incorrect.
