Commenting on: DisplayPort 1.2 to carry increased resolutions, higher refresh rates, deeper color depth, and 3D

I’ve written a lot about the growing movement to DisplayPort. At CES 2009, it was announced that the new DisplayPort 1.2 standard will be adopted later this year. This new implementation will double the current bandwidth, to 5.4 GB, enabling increased resolutions, higher refresh rates (e.g. 120 fps images at 1080p to reduce loss of detail in fast movement), greater color bit-depth, and support for two separate image image streams to create stereoscopic 3D. It will also support multiple streams for multiple monitor support over a single connector. (Check out this PPT presentation from WinHec 2008 that…
