Actually, I would prefer that if it supported HDMI.  I don't own any SVGA 
displays -- haven't owned one in over 11 years.  DVI and HDMI are the way to go 
these days.  I have not bought the P3 SVGA option for this very reason.  
Actually, there is another possibly more important reason -- I have no use for 
a larger display screen on my ham shack desk.  But, the lack of either DVI or 
HDMI output stops me anyway.
