SCART was a great idea, executed terribly. Did it need to be so big, and with such flimsy pins? And with the chunky rigid wire coming out at an odd-angle (which inevitably would end up the wrong side compared to where the device was). Oh and they always used to half-fall out resulting in some weird effects on the picture. Compare to say a USB connector which is easy to plugin one-handed, even when not looking at the socket with a hand round the back of the PC. Luckily with HDMI they seem to have put this right.
