Probably will end up as "popular" as optical ports.]]>Jul 25th 2007 2:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/Jul 25th 2007 3:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/
There are some minor advantages, such as being able to transmit over greater lengths than HDMI, but with HDMI already pretty deep into the market, why even bother with DisplayPort.

Yes, digital is good. But having too many cables that seem to do the exact same thing is bad. This equals more unnecessary ports, more cables, more SKUs and most importantly, more confusion.]]>Jul 25th 2007 4:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/Jul 25th 2007 5:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/
Don't write off optics yet, we are coming.

Putting this onto a TV is not the way forward due to HDMI. This is really here to replace the lower bandwidth of DVI and VGA on computers. By the time this is the mainstream connection we should have a need for the extra bandwidth this allows.

How long before we see this port on LCD monitors and Graphics cards.......]]>Jul 25th 2007 4:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/Jul 25th 2007 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/
Yes, I do know a 30 inch monitor that does 2560x1600...Dell's 30 incher, over DVI. Samsung's LCD is still incredibly amazing, just that the high resolution isn't a first.

Compatibility with DVI / HDMI / VGA is also good - simple adapter plugs will do. And I was wondering why DVI plugs are so fraggin' huge - no reason it turns out, DisplayPort can deliver 2x the data at 1/4 the size. ]]>Jul 25th 2007 5:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/Jul 25th 2007 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/Jul 25th 2007 5:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/Jul 25th 2007 6:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/Jul 25th 2007 8:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/Jul 25th 2007 7:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/Hm...

I do hope that either HDMI or DP is what finally shoves VGA off of laptops. I honestly cannot understand why DVI isn't the standard these days.]]>Jul 25th 2007 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/Dell's 30 inch does do 2560 by 1600, and it is Vesa mount ready. And unlike HDMI, Dual Link DVI isnt subject to DRM.

There are other things to do with a display screen besides watching a DVD.
