Already living the high life with a swank Mini Displayport monitor as your daily? That’s all fine and dandy, but what happens when your desolate friends come over with machines that only tote DVI? That’s where an adapter like Kanex’s C247DL comes in.

If you’ve been thinking about buying a one piece Mini DisplayPort-to-HDMI cable to bring vids from your Macbook to an HDTV, you may want to get it now. According to a report from TechRadar , the group behind HDMI has decided they don’t meet the requirements and cannot be tested or licensed for compatibility.

Apple has just collected the US Patent Office’s approval to add another to its vast hoard of patents . This one, numero 7,918,689 in the USPTO annals, describes a multi-pin male plug connector and a corresponding female receptacle, with the innovation being a reduction in size thanks to a single row of contacts. You can think of it as Apple’s next generation of 30-pin connectors, or rather the next generation as the company envisioned it back in late 2008, the date of filing for this document.

Still wondering if the future of display linkage really lies in DisplayPort ? Hard to say for sure, but IDT’s definitely making a good case for it with its latest demonstration.

It’s taken AMD a long time to refresh the top end of its graphics hardware, but today’s culmination to that wait has to be described as somewhat bittersweet. Sweet, because we’re finally getting a successor to the venerable HD 5870 , one that offers improved power management and tessellation performance at a lower $369 price point, but also bitter because in terms of sheer firepower, the Radeon series seems to be stomping on the same old ground. The new top of AMD’s single-GPU pile, the HD 6970, offers 1,536 stream processors, an 880MHz core clock speed, and 2GB of GDDR5 running at 5.5GHz for a total of 176GBps of memory bandwidth

A syndicate of consumer electronics titans including AMD, Dell, Intel, Lenovo, Samsung and LG announced this week that its products will collectively drop support for VGA by 2015. Saying sayonara to the 20+ year-old analog technology is pretty self explanatory to us in this day and age, but the council of doom apparently felt compelled to cite DisplayPort’s and HDMI’s benefits of increased energy efficiency, smaller size and support for higher-resolutions as proof the move wasn’t personal — just business

Tired of going at it alone, eh WiGig ? The aforesaid Alliance has just teamed up with yet another organization — a mere six months after doing likewise with the Wi-Fi Alliance. For those unaware, WiGig’s 60GHz multi-gigabit technology has already begun to penetrate the higher-end AV market, particularly in devices that shoot 1080p from source-to-display sans cabling

NEC’s new MultiSync EX231W may not be the sexiest LCD of all time, but it’s still decidedly sleek for a screen that’s all-business underneath. This 23-incher weighs just 9.3 pounds, has an ultraslim bezel (14.6mm) and a native 1920 x 1080 screen resolution, and it’s also packing 250 nits of brightness, 25,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and a Mother Earth-approved ECO mode that consumes just 16 watts. There’s also DVI and DisplayPort options, not to mention a USB pass-through on the top of the monitor that enables quick webcam or flash drive connections.
