No support for DVI, HDMI or Display Port for monitor hookup?

With more and more companies dropping analog VGA support on monitors and 
T.V., it will not be long till there are no monitors that  work with 
your project.

Yes, HDMI is a bit of a pain to license.  But, DVI is an open standard 
and can be converted to HDMI with cheap adapters.  Not as many companies 
support Display Port but it may be around for a while since it supports 
higher resolutions than 1080p on HDMI.

(Before someone jumps in about HDMI 1.4 handling 4k resolution with 
"Deep Color",  the new HDMI 2.0 is better design for the next gen T.V. 
with Ultra HD resolutions of 3840 × 2160 and 7680 × 4320.)
