[edit] blind connection by just feeling

Please explain, translate for non borg-native speaker what that means

From what I've read it will have (or is capable of) DVI 1.0 compatibilty.

Advantages

   * 10 Gbit/s forward link channel supports high resolution monitors, 2560x1600, with single cable. Note: 70fps*24bpp*2560*1600=6.9 Gbit/s.

^ this is surely not an accurate way of calculating the bandwidth used by a particular video mode. displayport sends in packets with headers and such... so

Correct. It is not intended to be accurate. Just to show that it is under the 10Gbit/s maximum throughput. Daniel.Cardenas 00:39, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] large monitors

I see one cable supports 2560×1600 which is the resolution most 30inch monitors use. Can two cable be used for larger monitors? -Ravedave 19:06, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] bits per channel?

The overview states 8 or 10 bits per colour channel, whereas the technical specs further down the page lists support of "color depth of 6, 8, 10, 12 and 16 bits per component".

[edit] photograph

Dell has been showing off a DisplayPort monitor for a while. Perhaps a photo of it would be appropriate?

Actually I think the Samsung was before Dell http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/25/samsungs-30-inch-lcd-with-worlds-first-displayport-game-on/ Ciper 03:59, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion

I came to this article hoping to learn why the manufacturers feel DVI and HDMI aren't good enough for this application. As far as I can tell, the article doesn't mention what features have driven the development of DisplayPort. This isn't my area of expertise, but if you add this info, the article will be better.
