This is a really well written article. If you haven't bothered reading about DisplayPort because you knew VGA, somewhat knew DVI and thought that HDMI is the culmination of it all, where then DisplayPort is just some further kind of evolution, this article does a really good job at explaining how DP is very different and something new, something worth knowing about.
The core sentence which made me actually read the article was "DisplayPort sends its data in packets." and does a good job at explaining what this means and how this differs from HDMI.
