Apple is working with Intel and companies to create a better link for connecting computers to high-definition televisions and other consumer devices, according to the Wall Street Journal (free registration is required).
The spec is known as UDI (unified display interface). The need for an improved interface standard, addressing the unique requirements of non-CRT display technologies, is currently one of the major obstacles preventing the wider acceptance of such products as replacements for the traditional CRT-based monitor, according to B. Myers of HP in a paper written for the Society of Information Display.
The goal is to replace VGA, a nondigital technology. Instead HDMI, for high-definition multimedia interface, would be used.
