VGA and DVI replaced by DisplayPort

[malware]

VESA(Video Electronics Standards Association) is reviewing a new standard scalable, with the capacity for additional lanes to meet the demands of next-gen displays. DisplayPort will also be capable of carrying audio signals, and it will apparently use a connector small enough to be integrated into thin and light notebooks. Consumers now could see PCs, TVs and projectors with brighter pictures and fewer wires. VESA aims to enable more colors, higher resolutions and higher refresh rates, as well as simplify the way computers connect to LCD, plasma, CRT and projection displays. The specifications of DisplayPort lets high-quality audio share the same cables as video signals and allows for data transfer rates of up to 10.8 gigabits.

DVI is good enough for me. I doubt any laptop is too thin to fit a DVI port

This is the real reason they want it-

However, the tinfoil hat crowd should note that DisplayPort has an optional content protection scheme to ensure a secure display path for copyrighted material.

I just moved to DVI a few months ago. And with "content protection" that this new thing may have, forget it. I'm never buying anything that has it.
