Source : DigitimesSamsung announced to have finished developing its first DisplayPort-based LCD display. It will be a 30" model and it should be available in Q2 2008.
The DisplayPort is the next generation interface chosen by the VESA to replace the current DVI.
The compact DisplayPort connector supports dual link signal required by 30" and greater displays, but also audio and it is compatible with HDCP DRM (as the HDMI). Unlike the HDMI, the use of DisplayPort is royalty-free, so its adoption should be fast, and it might even quickly replace the HDMI in some consumer electronics devices, while it should become the default video output in many computers in the second half of 2008.
