   I entirely agree. I wish they'd retained the vastly superior DVI connector   
   for HDMI, but I guess its that little bit more expensive.   
      
   I don't have any confidence in the long-term reliability of the HDMI   
   connector and the PCB mounted sockets will be almost impossible to replace.   
   So I predict that plenty of otherwise perfectly servicable bits of kit will   
   be scrapped just because the HDMI connectors no longer make good reliable   
   contact.
