Likely coupled with the kind of latencies that would make anyone scream with frustration.

I always have the cry of laugher when people complain about 12 ms response times.

I'm going to guess the delay is a lot more than just 12 ms, which would be nothing I was thinking more like 24-30ms

And most of the time its newbie members that do. But if your gonna complain about response time while using a USB 3.0 cable to a 5k monitor, your not a bright one anyways. Especially if your a serious gamer. Just using nvidia game stream to my gfs tablet is only 12ms over wirless N and works very good.

5K monitors are for video editing. I don't think those guys are going to care much about 24-30ms of lag.

To be clear: I'm talking about the link-latencies, not input lag, (of the monitor, IE: between when the monitor has the image and the time it is being "drawn,") not the pixel response time, the actual delay introduced by the link interface. For the most part, it's almost never an issue with dedicated pipelines, and neither will this if, for example, GPUs start to ship with USB 3.0 with DisplayLink support. Personally, I'm wondering "have we really reached the limits of existing interfaces to the point that this is needed?" Maybe not, but alternatives like this is how future standards are improved. At any rate, DisplayPort 1.3 has official support right now for up to 7680 × 4320 × 24bpp @ 60Hz, so I don't see anyone lacking for options. Any way you slice it, this is a good thing. EDIT: Well, it seems these people are not developing some sort of new standard or anything of the sort, just some hardware/software. Also, USB Type-C connectors will already have support for DisplayPort 1.3, so I'm wondering where DisplayLink (it's actually the name of the company) will be once Type-C becomes commonplace.

Yeah i have a Toshiba (USB 3.0) port replicator that has display link which was part of the legacy decommissioned kit since it wasn't supported on the new system i was able to take it home, even over USB 3.0 it's just damn right horrible.

7680 × 4320 is this officially called SUHD?
