In the battle of connections to the display, which are already participating ports DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, Dual-Link DVI and even VGA, which still has some motherboards, will soon enter another party. When you update the USB interface to USB 3.0, the data transmission rate that will reach 4.8Gbit / s, it is very possible that in early 2010 will be a number of monitors that support the interface of USB 3.0. Currently, there are already several models display with support for USB 2.0, but when transferring data via USB these displays are limited frame rate and resolution, which is associated with a capacity of 480Mbits / s, which provides the connection. It is obvious that with increasing speed by 10 times will be possible to transfer via USB high-definition video with high frame rate that can make USB 3.0 full-fledged competitor in this large market.

DisplayLink Inc. plans to release a chip that allows you to run video using the "SuperSpeed" USB 3.0, and will appear in the user devices in the second half of 2010. Manufacturer believes that products with this chip will be widely available on the market for the next New Year holidays. At the International Exhibition Consumer Electronics Show (CES), held in Las Vegas next month, the manufacturer plans to demonstrate USB 3.0 device running a chip that will transmit video at speeds up to 4.8Gbit / s, with a maximum speed of USB 3.0, reported Dennis Crespo (Dennis Crespo), executive vice president of marketing and business development at DisplayLink.

To send the video to use interface with bandwidth up to 10 times greater than the maximum bandwidth of the current standard, USB 2.0, which is equal to 480 megabits per second, it will be "faster than any video peripherals modern computer", ─ Crespo said, referring to all more popular VGA and DVI adapters, and devices using the new formats DisplayLink and HDMI. If the current implementation of USB 2.0 can support 1080p resolution at 26 FPS or so, the acceleration is 10 times theoretically enables you to watch video with a resolution of 2560x1600 at about 120Hz or so. That would be enough for a full featured 3D-technology in the stunning resolution of 60Hz. And when will these beautiful panels?

A number of devices with chip USB 3.0 will be shown at CES 2010, possibly in the next few days is to start selling some of these devices. However, the updated graphics adapters and docking stations will not be actively used as long as there is no released quite a number of netbooks and notebooks that support USB 3.0. According to Crespo, is about to happen next winter, and the next New Year's people are already able to give each other USB-monitors, providing excellent image. DisplayLink says that Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Toshiba and some other manufacturers are now actively working on models with support for USB 3.0. "I think this shows that the market has adopted our technology", ─ Crespo said.

On the other hand, Crespo recognizes that sales of LCD-displays have been disappointing. Now Samsung is virtually the sole producer, built into their monitor’s support the transmission of video via USB.Crespo believes that sales have declined because of the economic downturn, forcing manufacturers to cut prices on monitors as much as possible. Analysts, including Brian O’Rourke from In-Stat, think that the newest standard USB is increasingly being used by manufacturers of devices with LCD-panels. He predicts that in 2013 will be sold around 70 million displays with support for USB.
