More monitors are starting to appear with a new port called the DisplayPort. What is it? A competitor to the HDMI port that is now common on most higher end monitors. Be warned HDMI and DisplayPort signals are not compatible with each other. The cables are slimmer and easier to connect. The connector pins will not bend like VGA. This should be a lower cost alternative to HDMI.
Currently the Dell UltraSharp 3008WFP has the DisplayPort.
The ATI FirePro V5700 is one graphics card that has the DisplayPort connection.
Pricing on video cards with the DisplayPort should start to drop after the first quarter as more of these appear in the market.

Has anyone purchased this monitor and connect it using the DisplayPort?
