Jokes on you -- I'm still using the last TV I bought in 2005. It has 2 HDMI ports and supports 1080i!
I miss this the most, older tv models would have like over 30 ports to connect anything you wanted. All newer models just have like 1 HDMI connection if even.
To add these older screens last. New stuff just dies after a few years, or gets killed with a firmware upgrade.
PSA: Don't connect your "smart" appliances to the internet fokes.
My Smart TV made itself dumb when its built-in wifi just died one day. No loss.
We had an older Hitachi tv with 4 HDMI plus component plus RCA input and 4 different options for audio input.
New Samsung TV. 2 HDMI, that's it. One is ARC which is the only audio interface besides TOSLINK so really theres effectively 1 HDMI to use.
But of course all the lovely ~~spyware~~ smart features more than make up for it.
Is that a joke? My old TV has 3 and that's the only reason I can still use it. 2 of them broke over the years.
Depends on the TV.
Many older mid to high end models had 4+ ports and it sucks you can rarely find a new one with 4 anymore.
My circa 2008 Sony Bravia has 6 HDMI ports that all still work.
I've got 4 HDMI 4k 120hz ports on my LG...
Are you telling me there are modern TVs with only 1 HDMI port??
I was curious I so went and browsed some budget TVs on Walmart’s website. Even the no-name budget ones all had 3 HDMI. Maybe if it’s meant to be a monitor instead of a living room TV but I just looked at living room style TVs.
Thanks for putting in the work. People like you make the internet a better place
i feel like the only way youd get one with a single HDMI port are like models that were built specifically for black friday (to maximize profit, by cuting out features)
Mine's running a Wii on component YPbPr video. Looks mint!
