I was the technical lead on the project that developed the 1600SW and I appreciate your comments. When we were developing the interface for the 1600SW in 1997, we approached Silicon Image about adopting their TMDS (DVI) interface, but they were 2 generations behind us in resolution capability and really didn't seem to be interested in working with us. So we decided to base it on the National Semi/Texas Instruments LVDS protocol which I'm sure you're aware that you still find in monitors and laptops for routing internal information. In case you're interested, since then, I've acquired a quantity of 1600SW monitor spares from our Japanese OEM and have retrofitted them with a DVI interface which I sell with a warranty.
