DisplayPort? What’s DisplayPort? Well, as you can see in the picture bellow it’s something that will replace the ageing DVI and VGA. VESA(Video Electronics Standards Association) has recently announced that its members have approved the version 1.1 standards of the DisplayPort interface. The new interface will be used in flat panel displays, projectors, PCs and CE devices.
So what’s so special about the DisplayPort? Well for one, it adds support for HDCP 1.3(enables viewing of protected content from Blu-ray and HD-DVD discs). As you can see in the picture, it’s also considerably smaller than the other interfaces so it’s less clumsy. Not only that, but it’s also about twice as fast as the DVI interface and comes with optional audio support.
Of course as always, there are no exact dates on when these things will start appearing in most devices, but it sounds pretty cool anyway.
