        The good news is that you can get third party ones now. The better news is that you can get fully digital hdmi adapters that output over hdmi with not analog conversion in the middle.

      What did those poor cables do to you to get the Liam Neeson treatment?

        They were sitting in a drawer doing nothing.

        Now they bring joy to people again.

      What’s that one on the right? Kinda looks like svideo, but I can’t tell from that angle.

        The third one is modeled after a working cattle whip I saw in South America (that one was leather ofc).

    I remember finding 10 foot combo Toslink S-video cables at Radio Shack for like $5. I bought 3 of them and ripped the S-Video off because the Toslink cable was all I was after. I still think it’s better than most other cables for audio.

      HDMI ARC is technically better now

      • bulwark@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yeah, ARC is pretty convenient, I use it as well.

  My monitors only have DVI and VGA inputs. I’ve had to get adapters to use them with more modern equipment.

  I’ve got no reason to replace them. They’re perfectly fine monitors. I’ve had them for over a decade, and I still like them a lot.
