@ Ed Woo re: 'I always laugh at the fact that PJ manufacturers still include composite and S video inputs in their boxes, while touting an HDMI 1.3 input for hi-def content.'
Erm while S-Video and composite may not be useful if you are only considering hi-def, it is still of use to others. I had to buy an old MacBook Pro because Apple decided to remove compatibility with the older analogue connections (you can still get Analogue RGBHV via a minidisplay port to 'VGA' adapter, but then a scan (down) converter is needed). I am a visual artist and provide visuals alongside DJs/bands. The default PAL/NTSC industry standard video mixer only has S-Video/CV inputs as hi-def is along way off (live mixing of this size video too demanding - even with Dual Cores and 512MB of VRAM and 4GB RAM). I have used Matrox DualHead2Go's but this is only for 1280x480 (mixing between 2 x 640x480 and 1 x 1280x480 across twin projectors). By day I work in education as an AV Technician and we utlise all connections on the rear of the 100+ projectors I am responsible for.
To conclude different markets need different connectors (inc niche ones like mine). Your sweeping statement is applicable to those who only wish to use projectors with high def inputs for home use to display high def content.
