DisplayPort works over one cable via daisy chaining the devices together.  There is no hub.

Which is of course the underlying technology that Intel incorporated into their latest high speed I/O "Thunderbolt" (LightPeak) that is currently only available in Apple laptops but will be coming to computers everywhere soon.  One cable into the PC with everything else daisychained.

Oh dang, very cool.  I had no idea that you could do that with DisplayPort.  However, I imagine that just like any other network, there is a limit to the bandwidth, and therefor the number of individual monitors one could attach before there is performance loss?
