DisplayPort Interface Set To Change Market

Products with DisplayPort, a new PC/monitor interface technology will hit the market this year and slowly drive out DVI (digital visual interface), according to a report.

DisplayPort will be the first universal, digital interface between PCs and LCD monitors. While VGA is universal in both markets, it is an older analog technology that is not equipped to handle the increasing resolutions of tcomputing environments. DVII is capable of higher resolutions than VGA, but has limited bandwidth and uses older raster/scan technology.

Market research company In-Stat expects DVI technology to slide out of the market by 2011. DisplayPort products will be limited this year, but In-Stat forecasts that over 600 million will ship by 2012.
