Dell is going to go for a new connection in its LCDs - Displayport is smaller, needs less components to work and can be daisy chained etc.
It will still support all hd resolutions etc as well
Win Win since it is also apperently cheap and so means Dell can make monitors that look like this.....

that does look pretty sweet in a Minority Report kinda way :)
id have one fo sure
Thing on the sides if anyone is wondering are the speakers using the glass/object vibration thing to get the sound
clever technology but Id rather have the screen without the perspex reflectyness of annoyance TM round the edges.

They probably will at the end of the day when I think more feedback like that comes back to them, concepts always over the top a little aint they
itd be cool if it were frosted round the edges (and clear over the screen ;) )
My word that looks ugly. I assume the final product will be nicer though.
i do hope this isnt a proprietory connector. I loath converters, and even Apple have bowed under to consumer pressure.
I am liking connections being smaller though
hd, this now, usb, scart to be gone, ide replaced with sata...
finally start getting rid of chunky connections and thick cables, now all we need is more bluetooth like stuff increased or more things able to run through the same cable to reduce the billion wires behind my pc

If you read up on it, dell will ship with the displayport connector to dvi and you can buy the dpt to dpt seperate if you have something that handles it.

yeah, but if they really do want t o get a decent foothold across the board they will have to open up the standard. I vaguely remember reading something about an Evolution of DVI with similar specifications, and that interested me because itll be an open standard.

The connector is created by VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) so will no doubt be appearing on graphics cards and monitors from many companies.
According to wikipedia:
QuoteThere are several companies stated to support DisplayPort: AMD, Intel, Dell, Genesis Microchip, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Molex, NVIDIA, Philips, Samsung, and Tyco Electronics.

cheers for that, I was goign to look for it and post that
Apparently it will be in number of formats on the back
some will go with dvi hd and this, some hd and just that(eventually) etc and there will be cables with the end on it, at end of day it will filter out to this and hd ports and connectors and dvi phased out but then with the adaptors like vga.
Imporant thing though is that you can have this and hdmi ports on the monitor and not take up as much room, and have the power brick under you desk
Still thing for me is the power brick, look at the 360 - something needs to be done to come up with power that is not as big and small power units (laptops) that do not get so hot and blow up ^^

Yes indeed. The standard was approved last month.
Nexus youre talking as if the thing is going to walk over everything. HDMI has barely settled into peoples living rooms and is heavily intergrated into current multimedia.
But I can certainly see it taking over as a PC monitor connection.

HDMI will do yes a number of the dx10 cards and hd cards will/have one hdmi and one dvi, but this has been a keen interest in a number of lcd for computer companies and graphics card as they do not want a true hdmi only system, I cant remember what the article I read now said, but it was something about what it can do, daisy chaining for duel screening (as in 1 port on the card can do 3 monitors) etc rather then just a pure media oriented connection.
As I said I reckon one of these ports and one hdmi will probably be the norm.

Youre going to start seeing more LCDs with either glass fronts or gloss finishes - it helps with contrast apparently. Hopefully theyll release either/or versions for those with rooms where its difficult to control ambient light, but if you do have control over it, I have to admit the new gloss screens do look pretty good when up and running.

So it looks like a cheap Argos coffee table?
