Apple's Latest MacBooks Still Have Mini DisplayPort Dual-Link DVI Distortion Issues
Remember those distortion issues people (like me) were having with the unibody MacBook Pros while using the Mini DisplayPort Dual-Link DVI adapter? We can confirm that they're still there in the new machines. More »

Monoprice Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI Adapter Hands-On: HD iTunes Now Plays On TVs
Monoprice sent us their $14 Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter, and we tested it with some protected content to see if it solved one of the new MacBook's biggest monitor compatibility problems. Sure enough, it did. More »

The Flood of Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI Adapters for Macs Begins With Apogee
Apple's free licensing of the Mini DisplayPort spec is finally bearing fruit: Besides Monoprice's MDP-to-HDMI adapter, Apogee informs that their own is now finished, will be coming soon to a "major reseller."

Apple's Mini DisplayPort Will Be Official Part of DisplayPort 1.2 Specification
Apple's shrunken version of DisplayPort will officially become part of the DisplayPort 1.2 spec, meaning there's a better-than-ever chance we'll actually see it in gadgets and computers from other people. Death to proprietary ports! [MacRumors]

Cheap MiniDisplayPort to HDMI Cable Coming to MonoPrice Next Month

Apple's Mini DisplayPort Might Not Be BS Proprietary Port After All
We hated Apple's tiny DVI ports because even though they used an industry standard, they were de facto proprietary connections. We were ready to hate Mini DisplayPort too, but we might not have to. More »

HDCP Restrictions Rolled Back on New MacBooks
One part of the new MacBook experience that didn't exactly seem like much of an upgrade was the addition of HDCP for the new DisplayPort video connector, which left users unable to watch iTunes DRMed video content—HD or SD—on non-HDCP compliant external displays. This morning Apple released an update to ease the pain: protected SD content will now play on older DVI and VGA-connected displays. It's a step in the right direction, but the real mistake here probably wasn't including SD content under the HDCP umbrella—it was cramming the DRM tech into the laptops in the first place.

Apple DisplayPort to Dual Link DVI Adapter Delayed to Dec. 23
While we liked the shiny unibody MacBooks, their new miniDisplay Port requires the use of a dual link DVI adapter to drive the 30" CinemaDisplay. Not only is the adapter $100; it's a custom cord that can't exactly be spotted between the batteries and singing cards at the drug store. Now Apple has informed preorderers to expect their shipments no sooner than December 23rd—which just goes to show that in a fight between Steve Jobs and Santa Claus, Steve Jobs would win...or something like that.

MacBook Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter Costs $100, Won't Ship for a Month
Let the bitching about the Mini DisplayPort output on the new MacBooks begin (or just get louder): Not only does the official Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter that'll let you hook them up to a giant monitor cost $100, the Apple Store says it's not shipping for at least four weeks. Meaning if you were planning on jacking a new MacBook or MBP into your 30-inch monitor using Dual-Link DVI, you're screwed for now (and then poor later). Yay for basically proprietary ports.

Giz Explains: DisplayPort Set to Invade PC Monitors Everywhere
As if we needed another display standard, along comes DisplayPort, approved last year and just about to sally forth on graphics cards and monitors everywhere. WTF do we need another standard for, anyway? Bandwidth, that's why. DisplayPort (plug pictured above at left, next to a dual-link DVI connector) can handle a maximum 10.8Gb per second, carries 8 channels of digital audio as well as all that video, and has a bidirectional auxiliary channel that can also handle 1Mb per second. That's a lot of data. It could turn out to be a reliable, fast and easy-to-use bridge between computers and home theater displays. But DisplayPort is not all sweetness and light.

ATI RV635 XT in the Wild - First DisplayPort-Capable Card
Hot Hardware has snagged one of the first graphics cards launched with full DisplayPort support. Before you write off DisplayPort as just another adapter to buy, consider its support for daisy-chaining: multi-head setups can be rigged up easily with the need for only one port on your box. Watch for the RX635 (along with the first DisplayPort LCDs) to hit first quarter '08. [via Hot Hardware]

Dell's New 30-Inch 3008WFP LCD Loaded With DisplayPort, Dual DVI and HDMI
Succeeding the 3007WFP, Dell's latest 30-inch deskbuster LCD, the 3008WFP, packs the much-ballyhooed DisplayPort input with its visual-cortex-pleasing 2560x1600 resolution support and 10.8Gbps data rate.

Samsung the First to Develop DisplayPort LCD panel
Samsung has announced that it has developed the world's first LCD panel that uses DisplayPort. The 30-inch LCD, which goes into mass production in the second quarter of 2008, has 2560 x 1600 resolution thanks to the zippiness of the new interface that, at twice the speed of today's interfaces, transmits graphics data at 10.8Gbps.

VESA Approves DisplayPort 1.1 With Digital Content Protection, World Doesn't Give a Damn, Orders More Pancakes
Those crazy videoheads at VESA have approved the final version of DisplayPort 1.1 that was announced at CES '07. And while we thought it was yet another new connector for your computer, monitors, TVs and projectors, different to every other video port out there and obviously designed to confuse everyone, apparently VESA says "it's a new roadmap for display connectivity convergence."
