Computer users will see VESA’s new video interface in shipping products (we mean it this time)
It’s been a long time coming, but once the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) approved the DisplayPort 1.1 specifi cation in April,it became all but certain the digital interface would replace DVI and VGA in computer products. After all, the interface standard—which is capable of meeting the demands of high-def video and copy-protected content—has the blessing of many PC industry heavyweights. Those companies are now stepping up with announcements about forthcoming products that will feature the new connector. First, there was word of Dell’s prototype half-inchthick LCD that uses DisplayPort and which is rumored to be shipping late this year. Now Samsung has stated its plans to use DisplayPort (as opposed to Dual-Link DVI) in its next 2560x1600 30-inch panel. And AMD, as well, says, “We will begin shipping native DisplayPort interfaces on our graphics products in early 2008.”
