![]() ![]() ![]() On non-portables, DVI connectors are by far the most robust.ĭisplayPort will add complexity and cost (cards and monitors will need to support multiple standards for years so as to work with the installed base), possibly cut down on connectivity (going from 2xDVI-I to DVI-I + DisplayPort means I lose a CRT) and confuse the hell out of everyone (just because it's DisplayPort doesn't mean it can run at full speed). It's not appreciably smaller than the type A and B HDMI connectors, although admittedly it's less prone to falling out, but it's huge compared with HDMI type C. There's some ability to combine high clock rate with high colour (which HDMI can do, but DVI needs to waste the second link for high colour), but for so long as desktops are only 24bpp the only benefit to higher colour depth is to give you a more accurate look-up table - something Eizo and NEC have been doing better by putting it in their monitors for years. Even going from 330MHz to 360MHz doesn't start allowing QWUXGA displays to be driven down a single cable at full refresh, and we can already do 2560x1600 panels quite nicely with dual-link DVI. It has about the same bandwidth (360MHz) as dual-link DVI (usually at least 330MHz, no official upper limit) and single-link HDMI 1.3 (340MHz), and much less than HDMI 1.3 type B (680MHz) - although the HDMI consortium shot themselves in the foot by not making the connectors interchangable like single- and dual-link DVI. ![]() I was really hoping it wouldn't come to this.ĭisplayPort is pointless. ![]()
