Re: 4K support

The thing I find most annoying is why TVs come with only a handful of HDMI ports (3 or 4 is the max), but a surfeit of obsolete analog ports like component video or S-Video, which belong on the dust heap of history. Surely no more than one such port is needed?

I have bunch of old kit that still requires component, s-video or horror...composite. If omitting those would mean 4 extra HDMI ports (so we'd have 8 instead of 4) then personally I'd be willing to trade. I'd just have to keep hold of some TVs still having those ports or buy/make a converter from the old format to HDMI.
