That seems to be the best bet today. Tomorrow of coarse they have a new 
connector thats cheaper. The connector cost is likely the driving force, 
and an hdmi connector thats a 1 step crimp, probably costs 10% of what a 
db15 costs.  And I believe its mechanically superior to boot, I've seen 
a boat load of db's wrecked because the outer shell is the same shell 
for both the db9 and the db15, so you spend at least 15 minutes 
re-straightening the pins, and hoping the socket survives because the 
db15's pins and sockets are smaller. HDMI seems to have eliminated that 
hassle.
