Consumers have made one thing clear about the tech industry over the past several years: format wars are confusing (http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=6786) and often times deliver more issues than solutions. Display technologies consisting of DisplayPort, HDMI and UDI have all been ferociously vying for industry support (http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=3098) over the past two years. Despite a strong push from all three standards, DisplayPort crossed a major milestone in April when it received approval by VESA to be an industry standard (http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=6761).

The big question on most consumers' minds however, is the proliferation of products that actually use the DisplayPort standard.

This week at a business strategy meeting at Dell, the company showed off what it calls the next generation in LCD displays. Dell demonstrated a prototype LCD panel based on DisplayPort (http://www.gearlog.com/2007/05/dell_...lim_displ.php). DisplayPort has several advantages that will allow manufacturers to design thinner LCD panels, Dell's chief technology officer Kevin Kettler said.
