Apple had the one-cable thing back in 1998.

Power went the other way, but still. Crazy it's taken us this long to get back to it.

Apple had it in 1993 (minus the power): http://www.kan.org/6100/graphicshardware.html

But NeXT had it in '88, power included (!): http://www.uk.netbsd.org/ports/next68k/faq.html#connections

People always hate on Apple for proprietary connectors and cables, but I loved my Cinema display with the ADC cable.
