    What audio will these be capable of carrying? 7.1?

    According to Wikipedia, the DisplayPort standard currently includes:

    "Optional 8-channel audio with sampling rates up to 24 bit 192 kHz, encapsulation of audio compression formats (including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio from v1.2)"

    To what extent, or if, the rest of the ecosystem supports it I have no idea.

    1.4 brings it up to "32 audio channels, 1536kHz sample rate, and inclusion of all known audio formats.", which puts it on par with HDMI.
