    At that point I’ll hook something else up.

    The point is convenience, not adding a bunch of other extra steps and failure points.

    What if the hdmi port fails? Then you’re gonna be glad you’ve got the tv instead.

        I’ve never had a tv brick from an update. You see how none of the arguments matter? It’s a possibility, so to argue is just silly.

          This is a post about tvs being bricked from updates. Tvs bricking is a real thing that multiple people are facing right now. HDMI ports breaking is something I have never heard happen unless a user is actively destroying them. I used to work in IT at my last job and I had to replace monitors because the panel failed never because the port failed. Additionally, what even remotely modern TV doesn’t have multiple HDMI ports?
