Wouldn't the use of optical fibre require a redesign on how the signal is processed in both GPUs and monitors? That, and the lack of a standard, will prevent that from happening anythime soon.

Optical signals get converted back into electrical signals anyway, so on that front nothing would change. The only thing you would need is a connector, there are a wide variety of optical connectors out there already. But I don't see how that would be a problem. You also need new standards for further iterations of DP and HDMI.

I don't know.

If it were that easy, there would already exist this kind of solution for enterprise products where image quality (and without compression) would benefit from the higher bandwidth that optical fibre brings.

There's something more that prevents it from happening.
