Even if companies like Dell, HP, Samsung and Philips do start installing new connectors based on the DisplayPort specification, Semenza said the majority of consumers will probably wait until their next computer upgrade to make the switch.

...when else would they do it?

When the device breaks or upgrading just because they can?

o.0 sounds nice i mean better video for movies and games, higher res. for working with more programs w/o multiple monitors (which i love at work and want at home Sad) and faster refresh rate for lots of things but the most noticed is lag on some games... (Ie Counter-strike) won't be too much to notice but will be nice to say haha my fps is 10x faster than yours! lol (may be over exadurating but eh)

I dunno about you guys but when I upgrade my PC I only upgrade the box.
Monitors only get upgraded when there is a pressing need (except my latest 2405FPW which was just for luxury) I would expect my monitors to last for at least 2 or 3 generations of PC.

I expect early versions of graphics cards supporting this standard will come both a DisplayPort and a DVI socket, just like my current video card has both a DVI and a VGA socket.

I wouldn't worry about having to get a new display just yet.

The standard also paves the way for optional content protection... a feature surely to be a hit in Hollywood.
