Don't miss an in-depth article recently added to our site: DisplayPort versus HDMI: Do we really need two digital-display-interface standards?Written by Ann R Thryft, Contributing Technical Editor of our sister site EDN, it covers DisplayPort's potential in the CE market and its future in the PC market, and its ability to challenge HDMI in the long run.
She begins:
DisplayPort silicon is beginning to appear in PCs, LCD monitors, and graphics cards. But it will probably be at least five years before prices fall and volumes ramp enough to challenge HDMI in consumer electronics.
DisplayPort proponents bill this digital-video-I/O standard as a no-royalties, scalable, extensible, open-standard interface that reduces connector footprint and cable clutter, lowers power consumption and cost, eliminates the need for some circuitry, and unifies interfaces in the boxes that connect to the home network. VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association), which introduced DisplayPort in 2006, last year ratified DisplayPort version 1.1a.Pictured (Figure 1, click to enlarge): Total DisplayPort-enabled device shipments will grow to just over 600 million in 2012 (courtesy In-Stat).
