B.Ob. Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Display port pictured "This year will be the year of Display port, the new VESA digital display interface. It is a licence free audio and video connection and will be used mainly as a connection between the display and the computer or the computer and a home entertainment system. It wont be natively compatible with HDMI or DVI, but there will be a workaround to make it work, much like DVI can be connected to an HDMI or D-Sub display. This is what it looks like and everyone including Nvidia, ATI and Intel will go down the Display port road in 2008." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParoxysM Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Just what I don't need, more adapters to convert the signal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 DisplayPort: A Look Inside "A single-link DVI connection has enough bandwidth to display resolutions up to and including 1920x1200 at 60Hz (a 24" monitor, typically), which is fine for most people. However, if you’re looking towards higher resolutions you either need to go back to an analogue connection or look towards dual-link DVI. A dual-link DVI connection increases the maximum resolution at 60Hz to 2560x1600 but, given that 2560x1600 has almost twice as many pixels as 1920x1200, you wouldn’t be wrong to assume that 2560x1600 is the highest resolution a dual-link DVI connection can manage at 60Hz. If you remember back to when we interviewed Nvidia’s Roy Taylor in June, he told us that the next step above 2560x1600 is 3840x2400 and, with dual-link DVI, you’re limited to just 33Hz at this resolution. DisplayPort is not going to solve that problem straight away over a single connector, but we’d imagine that there will be a dual-link equivalent that will be able to drive the 9.2 megapixel behemoths expected in the next year or so."

B.Ob. Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 DisplayPort Cards Coming, AMD's RV635 Unveiled "We've got an RV635 XT board here and have been testing it out on an unreleased LCD panel that we'll be showing you in the coming weeks. On the board you'll note that the surrounding circuitry for each DisplayPort connection is minimal and devoid of those all-too familiar Silicon Image TMDS chips that add cost to any dual link DVI-D connection. Since each DisplayPort cable can run multiple monitors in a daisy-chain configuration, imagine a four panel setup from a single graphics card and even possibly a single cable connection. We'll have more to come on the LCD side of the equation, soon." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
