i personally welcome stuff like this.. the clunky, clumsy display ports are a PITA in almost every sense... too bad hdmi has such stupid fees and whatnot with it, because that would have been a nice end-all, but someone just had to get theirs too, so now here comes another contender...
only problem now is the $50USD they will charge for a 6' cable

 

Not really with a DVI-VGA adapter on the back.

 

Does this mean I won't be able to use my CRT anymore ?

Damnit, I will have to play UT3 on a sh*tty LCD and destroy my eyes more and more each games......

EDIT: oh crap hahaha

sorry about uping that topic , I clicked on a link to the news while reading the Samsung LCD news....


my mistake

 

For those who keep mentioning UDI. It is pretty much died in the water. All backer of UDI has already jump to DisplayPort ( apart from Samsung who hasn't pulled out yet. )

DisplayPort offer a few advantage, and one of them not mentioned much is the support of optical cable. HDMI current have problems with low quality cable as well as Cable length. DisplayPort solve all of that.

And DisplayPort 2.0 should double the bandwidth allowed in current spec.

Personally i think DisplayPort is a much better technology then HDMI.

 

I'll keep waiting for my 30" WQUXGA monitor then
