Today, during its "Hybrid Business" strategy launch, computer giant Dell spent a few minutes discussing its new DisplayPort standard. According to Dell CTO Kevin Kettler, the new "interconnect will redefine what an LCD monitor looks like".
He mentioned it will support 4x the current HDTV resolutions, allow for integrated peripherals around the display and allow the user to "daisychain" mulitple monitors instead of installing them in a star configuration. According to Kettler, the audio, microphone, panel I/O and more will all go through a single bi-directional cable.
The main point was that the new LCD monitors would be super-thin due to the elimination of the electronics used for video conversion. The prototype, displayed to the right, is only half and inch thick and very sleek looking.
More updates as they become available.
