They're trying to replace the old VGA connector again. They've already
tried twice with the DVI and HDMI standards, neither of which are
particularly popular compared to VGA. Now those two standards will
still be with us, as yet another standard, DisplayPort, tries the same
thing against VGA. How successful will it be?

They say that the old VGA was never designed for HDTV resolutions, yet
for years it's been displaying Super VGA over the same basic connector,
and SVGA is *higher* resolution than HDTV.
