"Intel's next generation laptop platform, code named Montevina, has a nice feature that remains quite unheraleded, Displayport. Not only does it allow you to drive an external DP monitor, it uses it internally." My take: So let me get this straight. We are finally leaving the days behind where TVs were TVs and computer monitors were computer monitors, entering a brave new world where a TV can be a computer monitor and vice versa, all thanks to DVI/HDMI - and now we're getting Displayport on computers, recreating the wretched OR situation of yore? If I had any hair, I'd be pulling it out right now.

Personally, i think using displayport to drive both the external and the internal panel is great: ever tried to use or the monitor of a laptop, only to discover they use custom connections and chips soldered on the laptop motherboard, so you can't just replace with any other, or use it on another pc?
Finally, a standard for laptop panels too!
