No comment about RCA jacks ....
They might be OK for audio, but I don't like them for video... It always
amazes me how many otherwise respectable companies (like HP) used them. I
have an HP monitor which had a very poor quality RCA phono socket for the
video inpout. I ended up ripping it off the bracket and replacing it with
a good [1] gold-plated one. No better RF performance, but at least a
better DC connection/
[1] Not all so-called 'quality' RCA sockets are!. The first ones I tried
wer vere weak metal under the gold plating. So weak that light hand
pressure on the nutdriver on the mounting nut would break the body.
