The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) has delivered its
first full DisplayPort™ certification of PC
graphics products to AMD (NYSE: AMD) and its ATI Radeon™
HD 3400, ATI Radeon HD 3600 and ATI Radeon HD 3800 graphics products and

generation of brilliant display capabilities.

DisplayPort offerings including the UltraSharp 3008WFP and 2408WFP
Widescreen LCD Monitors.

products interoperate and provide a great digital display experience.” "AMD has been a driving force in the
