Some displays have them. I do not think there is a difference between regular and mini DisplayPort besides size. Mini's may be used because some video cards(like AMD cards) can output six displays, and regular DisplayPorts are too large, so they use the mini version to fit more on the card. Some cards only have mini DisplayPorts on them.
