What about projectors? Right now, I know that I need nothing more than a VGA connector to walk into any venue with a presentation because the end of a VGA lead will be available. I think it'll take more than five years for this to change.
- aidenn0 16y agoAll projectors I've seen made in the past couple of years will take one of DVI HDMI DisplayPort And DisplayPort can put out HDMI/DVI (The video part of HDMI is DVI) so a simple adapter should allow this. You will have a period of time in which people keep old hardware around to drive other old hardware, but it seems to me that when the bulb dies, just upgrade the damn projector!
- zokier 16y agoafaik basic DisplayPort is not directly compatible with DVI, but the cables are able to carry DVI singal nonetheless. While I'm not very familiar with DP devices, probably most of them currently have Dual-Mode DisplayPort, ie they are able to send either DVI or DisplayPort data.
- asnyder 16y agoI wish this were the case. Most conferences I've been to either don't have a DisplayPort, or DVI, or if they do, they don't have the proper wiring set up, but only VGA. I have to bring a DisplayPort to VGA adapter wherever I go.
