Post subject:  2013 - The Year of DisplayPort MST

January always brings two things, un-kept resolutions and CES. And with CES we always get a plethora of leaks and pre-show releases. A number of recent releases are pointing to Display Port daisy chaining and MST hubs finally making a splash in 2013. A couple of weeks ago, I saw a post at TFT Central regarding model numbers of upcoming Dell displays. The post contained a scan of the DisplayPort 1.2 flyer from the Dell U2913WM. The flyer indicated that upcoming products (U2413, U2713H and U3014) would all include DisplayPort daisy chaining through including DP 1.2 MST hubs. I fished out my flyer, and have included a scan here.

Just a couple days ago, David Tjong from AMD make a couple of tweets that showcased the DP 1.2 Daisy Chain and an unbranded MST Hub (probably a prototype).

Good news is that the clutter-cutting technology is here and/or soon to be here. Also remember that the MST Hubs can work with non-DisplayPort monitors. You can use them to attach three DVI panels to a single DisplayPort connection. I've been wanting to step up from 1080p panels to 2560x1440. The U2713H with the DP 1.2 Daisy Chain may just be the ticket.

nice! hip hip hooray for Dell! as always nice Monitors.

BTW. the MST hub is external powered? good! Corning presented a 30m Thunderbolt Fibre cable. which should be useable as MiniDP cable! Computer downstairs And TripleMonitor Setup somewhere Else. cool.

Cant wait for CES. So many cool things comming this year!

I am hopeful but at the same time worried that it wont play so nice with things like eyefinity.
