The consumer is totally getting screwed with this irrelevant standard.  DisplayPort has no more bandwidth potential than HDMI.  HDMI, the standard, simply has to drop its $10,000 a year license fee for anything other than display devices.  Unless a company is producing an LCD, plasma or old-school HD CRT, they should be exempt from this $10,000 a year usury fee.  HDMI, the standard, could still continue to extort the 4 cents per unit sold (if the adopter implements HDCP content protection as set forth in the HDMI Specification).  Dropping the 10K/year fee for non-display producing companies would prompt further adoption of the HDMI standard.  DisplayPort and other multiple competing standards ultimately make consumers hesitant and products more expensive.  I hope everyone is looking forward to higher prices for products that have DVI, VGA, HDMI and now, DisplayPort.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Aaron]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 4th 2007 9:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on VESA approves DisplayPort 1.1: kiss those DVI and VGA ports goodbye]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/04/04/vesa-approves-displayport-1-1-kiss-those-dvi-and-vga-ports-good/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/04/04/vesa-approves-displayport-1-1-kiss-those-dvi-and-vga-ports-good/</guid><description><![CDATA[I would have thought as HDMI is so common it would be cheaper to use that. But as HDMI graphics cards have died the death already in favour of large numbers of DVI, I expect DisplayPort will suffer the same fate. Sometime this year Nvidia will make 1 or 2 of these cards, and then never again will you hear of DisplayPort.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mattclarkie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 12th 2007 11:05AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
