One of the standards discussed: Display Port. This new interconnect, according to Dell CTO Kevin Kettler, will redefine what an LCD monitor looks like. It will support up to 4x the current HDTV resolutions, allow for integrated peripherals around the display, and will let you daisychain multiple monitors, rather than installing them in a star configuration. Everyting, including audio, microphone, panel I/O and more will all go through a single bi-directional cable. Even better, by eliminating a lot of the electronics used for video conversion, new LCD monitors will be super-thin, and super sleek. The prototype, displayed above, should be available later this year. It's only about a half an inch thick. Display Port also promises to make notebook monitors thinner too, said Kettler."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/delldisplayport2.jpg" /><br /><br />Wow. I haven't been this excited about a monitor since the IBM and Viewsonic super-high resolution (3800x2800) LCDs. It is going to be a super thin monitor capable of 4 times the resolution of typical HDTV monitors, though the one on display was only 1920x1200. Apparently these monitors will be available later this year, but I can't wait for more news.
