This is worrying.

The potential lack of video in capability is a deal-breaker for me. My  
last large (well, 19"!) monitor died recently. It had been connected  
to my Mac Mini, which I was thinking of replacing with a nice new  
iMac. I was also hopeful to be able to view Blu-Ray movies on it, as  
well as connect various other computers and video devices, to make use  
of that huge high resolution screen.

How can I best express my dismay to Apple?
