Well, it is supposed to pass through HDMI with an adapter. So I guess it's OK. But I'm a little concerned about the connector it self. One of the complaints that I've heard about HDMI is that it just sticks in the slot and that's it. There's no way of locking it into place. It looks like this connector is doing the same. I've seen plenty of times when where a monitor cable was hanging on for dear life and the only thing keeping it from being pulled out of the video card was the fact that you could screw the connector down. I hope that when they release monitors using this interface they can be disconnected at the monitor also because I'm sure there will be more then a few broken ends on these cables.
