Display technologies consisting of DisplayPort, HDMI and UDI have all been ferociously vying for industry support over the past two years but DisplayPort crossed a major milestone in April when it received approval by VESA to be an industry standard. This week at a business strategy meeting at Dell, the company showed off a prototype LCD panel based on DisplayPort. DisplayPort has several advantages that will allow manufacturers to design thinner LCD panels, Dell's chief technology officer Kevin Kettler said.
Kettler showed a half inch thick LCD that incorporated speakers and a microphone. Audio and video signals route through a single DisplayPort cable. The DisplayPort standard recently adopted a standard that takes advantage of fiber optic cables for signaling. Using technology from a leading DisplayPort task force member named Luxtera, DisplayPort devices that use fiber optics will be able to accept cable lengths unheard of in the industry. DisplayPort LCD panels will be available later this year, Kettler claims.

But the large frame does create the impression of largeness, perhaps even more than a large panel. I just swapped a 20" viewable CRT with a 20" viewable LCD, and the LCD is so "unimposing" in comparison, that it doesn't feel like a 20" viewable screen.
say goodbye to thumbscrews forever.

What's wrong with good old HDMI?
The most important point is price. The Display Port is royalty free.
Talking of 24" LCD displays, the BenQ has had brill reviews, but Samsung is about to launch one that looks set to be half the price of the BenQ, and if the 22" Samsung 226BW is anything to go by, it'll be a real cracker!

HDMI? Never seen a TV with it.
I hope you mean *composite*.
Component is the BEST mainstream analog connection you can have (the red, green, blue RCA outputs/inputs).
