Apple's Mini DisplayPort Officially Adopted By VESA

Posted by timothy on Tuesday November 10, 2009 @05:12AM from the good-for-tiny-pictures dept.

DJRumpy writes "The Video Electronics Standard Association officially issued its Mini DisplayPort standard Tuesday, based on the technology licensed from Apple. VESA said that all devices using the Mini DisplayPort connector must meet the specifications required by the DisplayPort 1.1a standard, and cables that support the standard must also meet specific electrical specifications. It's a formal confirmation of the news from earlier this year, when VESA announced the Mini DisplayPort connector would be included in the forthcoming DisplayPort 1.2 specification."

I would be happy to forgo VGA if DVI wasn't so encumbered with DRM.

I wouldn't buy a laptop without a standard VGA connector. But I've seen plenty of sheepish Mac users running through presentations with broken dongles.
