Good question. It’s surprising it does not support HDMI, but maybe that is why it’s on sale :)
I’m curious how many people would be interested in this model despite its lack of HDMI support? Or are a significant number of people attempting to use HDMI to component video adapters, which I’ve read don’t always work too well? Then again, component video does avoid HDCP.
