Speaking of innovation and the uncanny Apple-related coverage storming out of France this week, news now that the new version of DisplayPort, (v.1.2) has been officially unveiled, with the final spec expected this year.
As we all know, all current Macs support output through a Mini DisplayPort: iMac, MacBook and MacBook Pro models use Mini DisplayPort while the Mac Mini and Mac Pro models have both a Mini DisplayPort and either a DVI port (Mac Pro) or Mini DVI port (Mac Mini).
What’s new in the new DisplayPort version?
Quite a lot - it's faster and even permits use of up to four monitors across one connection (good news for video and creative pros, once the standard's finalised, we think).
Some highlights
Double the bandwidth for 3D: 21.6 G
