It is true. With all these ports coming out such as DVI, HDMI, UDI, DisplayPort, and component it seems we have a lot of choices when it comes to hooking up our HDTV and monitors.

The only problem is that some of these are weighted down with content protection like HDCP and DPCP and with the large choice comes pain. Can you see what a receiver will look like next year if it has to be able to receive these signals and switch to any other? How about if you have HDMI/HDCP coming in and you are outputting to a Displayport with DPCP. Guaranteed it won’t happen. Change is good, but growning pains till there are single standards can be a real kick in the wallet.
