    The problem with RCA cables wasn’t the colors, it was the fact that the back of the tv was huge and you really wanted to not have to get back there. HDMI you can install by feel

      You can? I can’t. They have to be perfectly aligned, and I can’t get HDMI or DP cables to connect without visually seeing the outlet and plug.

        You have a chance to install by feel though. RCA you have to see the colors.

          Ok this is true, although if I had to reconnect a device pretty often, I’d be able to feel out the location of the plugs. But otherwise, yes.

            I can’t even feel out the location of my wife’s vagina and I’ve been reconnecting to that for years.

            Props.

          The first time….

          After that you know which order they are in on your tv and you can just reach your hand back there. Once you have the first one in it’s easy.

            I’m not really plugging and unplugging things often enough to memorize it.

        It’s a pain in the ass and I usually fail, but sometimes it works. Though far more importantly, it’s easier to get behind a flat screen with a swivel base than a big crt. RCA cables were on their way out when bigger tvs stopped weighing so damn much and taking up so much depth

        It’s tricky but it is doable, unlike with RCA where you have to plug in 3 identical connectors with the only identifier being the color.

          These were clearly all done by either children or by adults who never learned to moderate their use of force. All gas no brakes. Zero sense of finesse.

            Or have 0 patience and gets frustrated easily and gives in to the monkey brain solution then eventually calms down and swallows their pride and brings it in to get fixed.

          Want to know something even better? PS5s showed up on eBay like this within a month of release. Good money to be made if you were handy with a soldering iron.

        Is your cable not fitting? Try applying unreasonable amounts of force today!

      Also some devices would have like 5 sets of these connectors. You’d be playing around with the remote and plugging and unplugging stuff until you found the right one.
