I'm sure as usual there will be some kind of converter for years to come from VGA/DVI to HDMI or whatever is needed to be converted to in 5+ years time ....

Yeah i got a HDM-DVi adaptor for my old tv at Monoprice a while ago, found it to be pretty useful (though right now i Have my XBOX in that port, and it can;t do HDMI+composite sudio at the same time, so it's component.
Even if DVI is old, it's a digital signal, and that's the port most monitor manufacturers make anyway.
So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all but oh dear!
ALL standards are outdated by the time they show up in hardware. Having the "latest standards" hardware, is not a good reason to discard perfectly working equip. How often do you replace your Mobo/CPU? I wish I had a friend like you, so I could buy all his 6-month old computers @ 1/3 price!!!

The DVI spec can't keep up--It's too slow. It was good in it's time just like VGA replaced CGA. As already mentioned, HDMI includes audio and HS-HDMI is just around the corner. The High Speed HDMI is supposed to support larger and faster screens above the 1080p threshold as well as 3D in native mode. Some TVs were shown at CES-2012 that makes the current crop of the best HD-TVs look like the old VGA. They are near photo quality displays with no lag or motion smear. It will be like looking at live action through a window.
I just wonder how long it will be until broadcasting catches up.
