If you need a lot of ports, an external HDMI switch is cheap. https://www.newegg.com/acer-um-md1aa-001-43-uhd/p/0JC-000P-00CK2?quicklink=true |

It's easy to forget how much stuff used to cost. --- End quote --- And that $700 may have been a fine value. My grandmother bought a Zenith console TV around 1990, and it was still working when she replaced it with a flat screen almost 25 years later. She bought another for the basement in the mid-90s, and it was still working when she passed in the late 2010s. |

Too bad that the TV signals for a TV that old here don't. |

I wish I still had it, I've been looking for a vintage console TV like that to use at our cabin which is a bit of a time capsule. My point is that TVs and other stuff like that used to be very expensive. |
