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.

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.
