Goodbye DVI, hello DisplayPort

The VESA group is working on a new video standard called DisplayPort*, which should unify video connection to computer displays (including laptop LCDs), HDTVs, DVD players and the like.
The bandwidth should be higher than the actual DVI, allowing to get rid of the need of Dual DVI solutions for high resolution displays like Apple's 30" LCD.
Following the idea of making connections easier, DisplayPort should also carry sound on the same cable**.
For those who recently bought a 30" or are planning to buy one, remember what the Guide says: DO NOT PANIC. It will be years before this standard is widely adopted.

[moose: *OK, I'm no great fan of acronyms, but please, can't they come up with something better than DisplayPort?
** well, try just a little harder and you'll reinvent ADC]
