It's unlikely that HDMI based video will work with a DisplayPort input. Although DisplayPort can be connected to an HDMI input with a passive adaptor, DisplayPort does not support broadcast color space such as YUV. HDMI can accept and display the RGB format used by DisplayPort but DisplayPort cannot handle YUV which is typically output from a Bluray player.

DisplayPort is an emerging standard and during the time it is being implemented, there will be numerous practical adaptations to the capabilities of DisplayPort. For that reason, this answer may not be valid in the future. Indeed, it is likely that there are already products that can handle YUV so the only sure way to find out if it works is to try it.

Interlaced YUV will only display lines 1 3 5 etc. then go to lines 2 4 6... in the next screen refresh cycle of 50 or 60 times per second depending where you live in the world.

Progressive will display all the lines at once in every cycle, so effectively twice as much info onscreen in any one cycle.

For your purposes YPbPr is the same as YUV. Technically YUV is a type of colour gamut, or colour space standard to ensure colours match from one device to the next. YPbPr is an analog connection using this colour space standard and uses three cables (red, blue & green) just for the picture. YCbCr is a digital version of this. Both are commonly called Component. For the average home TV viewer these terms are all interchangeable - YUV, YPbPr and YCbCr. Even the sales assistant is unlikely to have a clue there is a difference.

It is chips with faster clock cycles and processing power that have helped us attain this point.

The newer players and TVs allow even more lines on-screen than the original Standard Definition (SD) TV lines of 576 (PAL) or 480 (NTSC). A DVD is however only SDTV resolution.

To get more definition onscreen you need to be receiving an HDTV (1280x720) signal normally arriving via satellite dish (DVB-S), a FullHDTV (1920x1080) signal from a ground transmitter (DVB-T), or a Blu-ray Disc player (1080).

Cable TV (DVB-C) can be in almost any resolution as it is encoded to suit the bandwidth available and often the resolution is traded off for the number of channels the station want to make available.
