Actually, I think as far as specs goes they are about even or Displayport may have the edge. Displayport is also suppose to be a open format, so there are not licensing fees, which can be nice.
That being said, Displayport can go the fuck away, we don't need another damn input because HDMI is perfectly fine. I bought my first HDTV right before DVI came out and it kind of left my high and dry. I have since bought a new HDTV with 4 HDMI, all of which are in use. Since HDMI has all but grabbed market dominance and manufactures will be pissing off and screwing a lot of customers if they for some reason think it is a good idea to switch to displayport.
