i read up somwhere about a new connector for pc monitors known as display port, intended to replace vga and dual link dvi with a single small connector that could allow manufacturers to display true flat panel monitors capable of producing resolutions capped at 3860 x 2400, roughly nine mega pixels, 4x greater than todays hd standard of 1920x 1080 (2mp). Has the technology missed its window of opportunity as the HDMI standard has evolved to 1.3?
I know many people disregard display port and favour hdmi as the universal connector for all their electronic gadgets, but i was hoping to invest in a thin, higher resolution 3860 x 2400, possible oled display, but would such a product be possible at this time. See im into photography and would love the extra res space, heck maybe even for gaming, im not too literate in the terminology but would current high end graphic cards be able to render that.
I mean computer monitors have always had a bigger res over tv, havn't they, like in the time of standard definition we had our 1280 x 1024 displays etc etc, so now if hdmi, a primary connector to introduce television to the hd era, becomes universal and mainstream on all displays, wouldn't it hold monitors back? am i making any sense? argh sorry its all jumbled in my head, im tryna make sense of it too =).
