You can? I can't. They have to be perfectly aligned, and I can't get HDMI or DP cables to connect without visually seeing the outlet and plug.

You have a chance to install by feel though. RCA you have to see the colors.

Ok this is true, although if I had to reconnect a device pretty often, I'd be able to feel out the location of the plugs. But otherwise, yes.

The first time….

After that you know which order they are in on your tv and you can just reach your hand back there. Once you have the first one in it’s easy.

I'm not really plugging and unplugging things often enough to memorize it.

It’s a pain in the ass and I usually fail, but sometimes it works. Though far more importantly, it’s easier to get behind a flat screen with a swivel base than a big crt. RCA cables were on their way out when bigger tvs stopped weighing so damn much and taking up so much depth

It's tricky but it is doable, unlike with RCA where you have to plug in 3 identical connectors with the only identifier being the color.
