And how. I friend of mine’s mom bought one of those Black Friday deal TVs which only has one HDMI port, and despite being a 47" width class also turned out to be only a 720p panel when I examined it.
She bought this probably ten years ago or so, and still has it. Surprisingly, it still works. Given that the only article ever plugged into that TV is one cable box anyway, it seems to work for her.
I’ve seen that on a big (and I think expensive) Samsung TV at a friend’s parent’s house. Weirdly enough the TV came with an external HDMI source switcher box. Really weird design choice on Samsung’s part.
I have one of those, I get the feeling they did it mostly so they could show off how thin they can make a TV. Actually makes good sense for another reason IMO: modularity. Power supply and control stuff is separated from the panel, so it’s easy to swap it out if the power supply or something else dies.
