Intel, AMD, Dell, Lenovo, Samsung Electronics LCD Business and LG Display have announced their intention to phase out analog display outputs like low voltage differential signaling technology (LVDS) and 2 decade old Video Graphics Array (VGA).

Intel says they plan to end the LVDS support by 2013 followed by VGA in 2015 and adopt the new low power digital interfaces like the DisplayPort and HDMI that support deeper colors and high resolution.

Although companies believe that VGA-equipped projectors and monitors will keep the interface alive beyond 2015, the integration of DisplayPort will help to fill the void since it is backward compatible with VGA and DVI via certified adapters.
