Over the years, we’ve seen a good number of interfaces used for computer monitors, TVs, LCD panels and other all-things-display purposes. We’ve lived through VGA and the large variety of analog interfaces that preceded it, then DVI, HDMI, and at some point, we’ve started getting devices with DisplayPort support. So you might think it’s more of the same. However, I’d like to tell you that you probably should pay more attention to DisplayPort – it’s an interface powerful in a way that we haven’t seen before.

    I suppose displayport over thunderbolt plus embedded USB hubs in computer monitors gets close, but the display settings controllers usually require proprietary drivers and are vendor specific.

    DisplayPort have DDC to control display settings. But I don’t know how much settings was standardized and implemented by vendor. But at least, the backlight was implement by most vendors, many users use it.
