DisplayPort 2.0 Monitors delayed due to Corona crisis
While we expected the first DisplayPort 2.0 compatible monitors announced at CES, they seem to have been further delayed due to the pandemic. The DisplayPort 2.0 standard was finalized mid-2019.
DP2.0 offers data transmission rates of 8K signals and higher. The first monitors were actually expected for the end of 2020, the responsible parties for the standard, VESA, have confirmed this much. Later in this year, the first announcements should go live though. The COVID-19 pandemic is responsible for the delay. Another hindrance was that the last test events had to be canceled. These are industry meetings in which different companies or their engineers come together to test compatibility and interoperability. Because of the Corona crisis, such joint meetings could not take place.
DisplayPort 2.0 will support data rates of up to 80 Gbps - almost three times as much as with DisplayPort 1.4. This enables gaming monitors with 4K, 144 Hz and HDR - without the need for compression. The current solution to that problem is Display Stream Compression (DSC). DisplayPort 2.0 also supports up to 16K at 60 Hz and 4: 4: 4 chroma and 30 bpp as well as HDR - here that's with DSC enabled though. Without DSC a maximum of 10K at 60 Hz with 4: 4: 4 chroma and 24 bpp without compression are possible for a single display. In addition, the DisplayPort Alt Mode 2.0 also advances these capabilities to USB Type-C. As a competing format, there is of course HDMI 2.1, which currently allows maximum bandwidths of up to 48 Gbps.

Odd they only meantion 2.0 being able to do 4k 144hz, when looking at bandwidth they can do 240hz 4k hdr with 54.85gb, they might be able to go to 300hz before needing DSC.
Still these are sadly coming slow, maybe be around for next generation of GPU's assuming they hit the mark there, shame the 3000/6000 series never got it

In the grand scheme of things, where does HDMI stands against Displayport ?

^^Bandwidth wise HDMI has 18gig, HDMI 2.1 have 48 gig and DP 2 has 80gig of raw power bandwidth to put it simply.

Delayed due to common sense more like. I mean what would be the point of releasing a DP 2.0 monitor when absolutely no graphics cards on the market support it? And since new graphics card architecture usually takes 2 years to be released and the most recent release was September last year, we probably won't see GPU's with native DP 2.0 support until September 2022.

How about using actual pixel metrics instead of marketing-metrics for display resolutions? What's 10k ?
