Samusung Unveils 30" LCD With DisplayPort

Samsung who has been quiet on the PC LCD panel front for sometime now, has just announced the development of a 30-inch LCD panel with support for Displayport. Displayport is a VESA endorsed upgrade and is intended as a replacement for DVI, LVDS and VGA. The Displayport interface is technically very impressive as it is capable of transmitting graphics data at a total data rate of 10.8Gbps enabling 2560x1600 resolution without any color smear.

Not only is Samsung’s panel capable of achieving the Displayport bandwidth, it also features 1000:1 contrast ratio, 6ms response time, 300 cd/m2 brightness, and 180 degrees viewing angle. Samsung will start mass production of the 30-inch panel from the second quarter of 2008.
