C'mon hardware people, make more monitors with DisplayPort out, and make them reasonably priced

DisplayPort (and Thunderbolt) are supposed to be the bomb diggity display transport technology of the future. Not only can you push better resolutions over it than DVI or HDMI, but you can daisy chain equipment. With Thunderbolt, not only can you daisy chain monitors, but you can include drives as well.

I have dreams of plugging one DisplayPort cable from my laptop into a monitor, which itself has another monitor(s) and at least a keyboard & mouse hanging off it (possibly a backup drive as well). During reading & research, in the clear as mud marketing & faq's, I did finally glean that a DP monitor would have to have a DP output as well as input to make a daisy chain.

The problem here is that there are many more monitors that only have DP in, but not out. Some of them don't have USB ports either. There are only a small handful of monitors supporting DP out, and they start at $800.

There are also monitors with confusing or downright misleading marketing (I'm looking at you, ASUS). The blurb will mention the fact that DP is superior because it supports daisy chaining. It will fail to mention the fact that this monitor can only be the last point in the chain & that you can't daisy chain two of that model.

At least one of the available Dell models had reviews saying it was of crappy build, and Dell support wasn't helpful. That limits the acceptable options.

Really, DP is cool. I'd be doing the daisy chain right now if it wasn't so stupid expensive to replace my two monitors. It's been years, hardware people. Step up to the plate.
