Commenting on the article:

DisplayPort is unlikely to take off with home entertainment systems like TVs, because HDMI handles TV data without any problems and there are some features of HDMI, such as bitstreaming of Dolby and DTS codecs, that DisplayPort doesn't do, and because HDMI has already entrenched itself in the market.

In the computer market, however, VGA is still the de-facto standard despite the best efforts of those pushing DVI, and it's possible DisplayPort may take off there. DisplayPort supports a lot more "computer" features such as USB.

In terms of data rates, there's not much between them. DisplayPort is about 8-9Gbps, HDMI is fractionally higher at 10Gbps. You're not going to find many screen sizes/depths/framerates that work with one and not the other.

So, bottom line, I'm not sure it'd help the article to include DisplayPort figures. DP is going to be attractive in the computing field if at all (which isn't EHD's area), HDMI is the relevent technology here.]]>Nov 22nd 2008 9:11AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/21/research-shows-hdmi-climbing-dvi-slipping/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/21/research-shows-hdmi-climbing-dvi-slipping/DVI : Old Sit
DPort : Crap]]>Nov 25th 2008 4:17PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/21/research-shows-hdmi-climbing-dvi-slipping/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/21/research-shows-hdmi-climbing-dvi-slipping/Nov 21st 2008 7:47PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/21/research-shows-hdmi-climbing-dvi-slipping/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/21/research-shows-hdmi-climbing-dvi-slipping/
That being said, Displayport can go the fuck away, we don't need another damn input because HDMI is perfectly fine. I bought my first HDTV right before DVI came out and it kind of left my high and dry. I have since bought a new HDTV with 4 HDMI, all of which are in use. Since HDMI has all but grabbed market dominance and manufactures will be pissing off and screwing a lot of customers if they for some reason think it is a good idea to switch to displayport.]]>Nov 21st 2008 10:46PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/21/research-shows-hdmi-climbing-dvi-slipping/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/11/21/research-shows-hdmi-climbing-dvi-slipping/
1. Displayport is an open standard and it's Royalty free. (DVI and HDMIis neither.)
2. Displayport has the ability carry data in addditon to a video signal.
3. The interface is small. DVI (not counting Mini-DVI, at least the Standard plug, is not) the PC Mfr's will love space savings.
4. Apple is using it now as well as Lenovo. The others will follow soon.
