An additional DVI input might be nice, but I wouldn't use HDMI over DVI on a computer monitor, anyway. DVI is the same, pin for pin (with the lack of audio transmission - but it's a monitor, no audio necessary) and DVI actually attaches securely. If you ONLY had an HDMI output available, you could easily source a cable with HDMI on one end and DVI on the other, or use the little converter that they throw in with just about every graphics card.
I would rather that more manufacturers would leave out the "it would be nice, but I'll probably never use it" features on their products in favor of a lower price or better performance.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
No HDMI?! Oh no!!!
