In Reply to: HDMI vs. Optical; why did HDMI become the standard ? posted by oscar on January 22, 2008 at 19:16:46:
There's a reason that the only time you see high quality fiber connections (ST) in consumer electronics is when you get to the High-End audio gear (Wadia, Krell, Accuphase, etc): real high quality/high bandwidth fiber optics (not TOSlink) is more expensive to implement vs HDMI when you add up the costs for interfaces, chips, etc.

- I gotta wonder if mass-produced CE fiber optics wouldn't be any more expensive than HDMI connections. - oscar 05:07:58 01/24/08 (0)
