Intel & Samsung Decide To Back Display Port Connector
Bob Myers, a distinguished technologist in HP's display unit, said HDMI will continue to be an interface well suited to HDTV sets where it was used in as many as 60 million systems last year. DisplayPort, by contrast will be used on PCs, PC monitors, projectors and notebooks, he said.
"We don't see competition between HDMI and DisplayPort. They will both be used in different markets," Myers said.
However, in today's convergence markets companies such as Dell and HP sell big-screen TVs to link to Media Center PCs as well as set-top boxes. That means the two will ultimately come into some market conflict, a reality for which HDMI backers are already gearing up.
