        Unfortunately most get royalties from HDMI, so won’t endorse an alternative.

            Welcome to the world my guy. Little old me can’t change it, but I can express my desire for it. You will see a lot of people doing the exact same thing across many many topics, luckily the port on the back of a TV is hardly an important issue for me to take the time to campaign further.

                  Calm down bud. I had no issue with the initial post, but the comment I replied to sounds like you’re trying to actually elicit change. My response was meant to make it clear that the general audience here agrees and you need to focus your efforts elsewhere.

          I thought they have to license the usage of HDMI so pay royalties to the HDMI foundation …

            Who do you think setup and owns the HDMI foundation?

            Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, Philips etc…
