But there's a difference here. HDMI is a better standard. It provides a noticeable improvement and there was a significant period of overlap. Plus if you're doing a transition from RCA to digital it requires a single converter one time and you don't need to keep recharging it. The difference here would be removing all input ports and requiring that you stream everything via your wireless internet. Then you'd have to charge your television but only when you weren't watching it. Everyone would think that was a stupid design choice.
