And despite its use as an embedded controller, the Pi was intended as a
cheap way to play with programming. Just like the Vic-20 or COmmodore 64,
connect it to the tv set and away you go. In some ways it is silly since
people are tossing 1GHz computers, but for 35.00 or whatever, it is an
interesting way to provide a place to play with programming without the
worry of accidentally damaging a main computer.
So the Pi is designed to hook up to a tv set. Any current tv set has
hdmi, I got that when I bought an LCD tv set 2 years ago in anticipation
of Canada going to DTV. I could have bought a converter, but it had been
30 years since the only time I bought a tv set new, and this gave me an
LCD tv set with LED backlight. And it gave me HDMI.
Now if all your tv sets are too old, then as I pointed out, the Pi has a
composite tv output, which means one can connect it to that green
monochrome monitor you have left over from the Apple II days, or that
COmmodore monitor you got with the Amiga 500. It won't be hi definition,
but surely if one can't scrounge up a monitor with DVI, a tv set with
HDMI, then you can find a tv set or monitor with composite video input.
