HDMI 1.4 Problems Are a 'Pandemic'

Jeff Boccaccio, president of DPL Labs, had nearly 70 calls last week from installers who were frustrated with non-functioning HDMI systems.

“It’s a pandemic," he says. "It’s getting so bad that some integrators tell me that they are just going to quit and get out of the business. It’s sad for the whole industry.”
