The thing I don't get is why a/v manufacturers don't use slots like computer manufacturers use - wouldn't it make hardware upgradability a no-brainer? DVI no longer the standard? Swap it out for HDMI 1.0. HDMI 1.0 no longer the standard? Swap it out for HDMI 2.0 or whatever.
Is this really that expensive to implement, or is it simply a matter of needing to keep us upgrading every few years?
