Well, for one thing, it supports higher bandwidth right now.

Only this new one does. DP 1.4 supports 32.4 Gbit/s. HDMI 2.0 supports less.

You're incorrect. DisplayPort 1.3 has supported 32.4 Gbit/s transfer rates for several years now.

The only thing that DP1.4 adds (in terms of bandwidth) is compression over the top. The native bitrate is actually the same.
