Can you recommend a z77 micro ATX with DP

[dhafir]

Hi all,
I have been looking for the above motherboard that also provide DisplayPort media out, but couldn`t find any.
Then I start e d looking at Asus ph77m pro but I am not sure about the H77 chip, I know it is not for oc but what else is missing?

Chipset comparison here. Nothing I noticed different, so probably just the OC features.

The following motherboards are mATX, have DisplayPort, and use a Z77 chipset:

This thread covers your adapter options (not that you have many) if you have an HDMI monitor that you want to plug into a DP device:

Problem is, those cheap DP to HDMI cables don't work in the reverse direction.

As dave the nerd said, Gigabyte, Asus and ASRock's top tier offering in micro-atx have displayport onboard.

Beware cheap cables.

Here is the Intel® Desktop Board DH77EB and it has Display Port, DVI-I, and HDMI.

As Dave said the difference is really the ability to overclock between the H77 and the Z77 other than that it is more about target market that the board is designed for. So you may have a hard time finding an H77 board that will support SLI or Xfire as these are not really something the most of the general purpose computer people are looking for. The H77 is the main stream home chipset that can do almost anything for most people.
