HDMI Ports

Post by **TheCatt** » Wed Apr 09, 2014 12:09 pm

How many are in use on your main TV?

We have 5:
1) XBox 360
2) Wii (Admittedly overkill)
3) Cable Box
4) Amazon Fire TV
5) Chromecast

We used to have a spare HDMI cable plugged in for connecting to cameras/laptops for photos/videos, but can't because we only have 5 HDMI plugs. Apparently we need more. I saw a deal on TV today, and ignored it because it only had 4 ports.

Mine only has two. One has the ATT Uverse on it and the other has a laptop running XBMC as a media center.

I got a great price on the TV in 2009. If I were to buy one today, I'd definitely be looking for more HDMI ports.

EDIT: Also I'd be looking for a DisplayPort. Getting the laptop DisplayPort to talk properly to HDMI was a nightmare.

Yeah, that TV above is one I got in 2009, great deal, and all that jazz. Our other one, purchased 1 year earlier, only has 2 HDMI ports.

Trick question for me.

MY main TV is in my office. The family's main TV is upstairs.

For the upstairs one, there are two in use: DVD and cable box.

For my office, there is only one in use, and that's to the cable box.

I have a separate monitor for my X-Box and PS3.

The Wii is in the play room.
