The upgrades to new displays and TV’s would be pain free if consumer electronic companies would stop removing input/output jacks and features in order to save money. Sure new electronic equipment could have all or most the input/output jacks and features, but then consumers would start complaining that they have to pay a extra $200-$500+ for the TV. Removing features and jacks from the back of the TV is another way to hide inflation.
At the same time if 10 years or more has past since buying a new electronic device like a TV, then its perfectly normal that consumers will need to get use to some technology changes for the good and bad. Everything new that one purchases has both positives and negatives, and the goal is to try and make the positives 90% and the negatives 10% so the consumer will want to upgrade. Some people are forced to upgrade their TV after 10 to 20 years because they break and cannot be repaired anymore, other people upgrade their displays in 3 to 10 years for better picture quality performance, etc.
