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.

    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.
