The last time we went to the Apple Store, every single desktop Mac plus a number of MacBook Pros were hooked up to LCD tv's 32" or bigger. The store looked more like an appliance store than an Apple Store. Although I still prefer a Windows HTPC with Media Center, a Mac hooked up to a big LCD tv was still quite impressive.

The big LCD tv's have much richer sound and can take advantage of HDMI's resolution autoconfig. So, I can see where HDMI on computers would be useful.

On Topic....
But for regular-sized monitors like a 22" widescreen....... VGA and DVI will still do. Besides, even 22" monitors with speakers still come with analog ports for sound unless HDMI has completely replaced them. I know the HP 19" widescreen for my Mac Mini still do. I have the built-in speakers hooked up via analog dubbing cable to the Mini's sound output port.
