HDMI

What is wrong with HDMI?

Oh cool...

... another content protection thingy.

Up till now I haven't been able to listen to bought CD's on my PC, I haven't been able to watch rightfully bought DVD's from another continent, and now even my monitor will block me?

And the are probably doing this as a service to the customer???

content blocking

It is called GREED.... not customer service!

This is why

According to a document from VESA, there are reasons for NOT adopting HDMI for the PC world:

"HDMI is a great consumer electronics interface, but is not the best solution for PCs as a monitor interface;
. [Because of] Limited performance is available in terms of resolution and color depth for PC monitors;
. [And] HDMI is designed to be a premium A/V interface, rather than as a broadly available general purpose display interface

[Also], the HDMI specification is not geared to unifying internal and external display connections; its primary focus is consumer
electronics".
