If you have seen any of the coverage of yesterday's notebook event for Apple, you are aware that Apple is adopting a new external display technology "across the entire product line" called "DisplayPort." With VGA, Mini-VGA, DVI, Mini-DVI, and HDMI all handling some level of HD video, one might be forgiven for wondering why we need ANOTHER kind of video display port on our MacBooks or other PCs. This article does a good job of explaining what DisplayPort is, why it is being adopted by PC manufacturers, and what to expect of it in the future. The short version is it is royalty-free (i.e. cheap for manufacturers), it can combine the VGA and DVI ports on your current PC, and it provides a truly open standard. HDMI is expected to remain the leader for Consumer Electronics, but DisplayPort is expected to take the lead for PCs and Macs.
Interesting. I only use the Mini-VGA port on my Mac to output SD video for slideshows, so I doubt it will make a big difference in my life. Except, of course, now I need to buy another adapter when I upgrade.
