Pretty crazy how quickly cable/port technology is evolving. Just a few years ago I was excited that HDMI was readily available and provided a high quality, simple interface for both audio and video, which was unheard of at that time. Pretty soon everything will be connected by USB. I like how that sounds.

The ultimate cable tech will be wireless...where even power can be transfered over the air....just hopefully nobody gets zap in between transmitting and receiving end....haha.

btw, what happened to Displayport, anyone remembers?

So... is USB 3.0 actually fast enough now to transfer full HD video and audio? It gives only half the speed that HDMI can give in its latest incarnation.

But please... USB instead of HDMI.
We want an open standard that won't support DRM.

Speaking of DisplayPort, I think that one's going to be relegated to laptops in the screen-board interlink. Because LVDS badly needs an update and a standard. Otherwise HDMI it is.
