In PC monitors, I often see the OSD-processor sitting in a
socket, whereas eg the TDA4858 is soldered onto the board.
Unfortunately, the TDA4858 is the usual victim of a device
failure, whereas (knock on wood) I didn't yet meet a defective
OSD-processor. Unsoldering a multipin chip is much more
tedious than just replacing a socketed one, isn't it?
I can't see technical reasons that demand to solder the
TDA4858 onto the board and would very much like to put
the replacement for the next TDA4858 I'll have to take out
into a socket. Any objections?
What would the technical preferences be for soldering a chip
against socketing it? Concernig cost, a socket wouldn't add
more than a few pence for the manufacturer, would it?
