Solution

I just bought the LG 86" QNED90 and I'm happy with my purchase so far. But I have a question about HDCP 2.2. Does anyone know if it's possible to check which HDMI ports on the TV support this feature?

@yogomushi, welcome to the club! To answer your question, most modern TVs, including the LG 86" QNED90, will have all their HDMI ports supporting HDCP 2.2. However, if you want to double-check, you can consult the user manual or contact the TV manufacturer's customer service for more information.

That's a great question, @yogomushi! Another way to check your TV's HDCP support is by trying out content that requires it. For example, streaming movies from Netflix or Hulu on your TV should automatically require HDCP 2.2 if the feature is supported. If you encounter any issues during playback, it might be a sign that there's an issue with HDCP support.

Thanks for all the help everyone! Based on the information I've gathered here, I think I'll go ahead and buy the LG 86" QNED90 TV. It seems to have everything I need, including HDCP 2.2 support. I'll also make sure to get a good HDMI cable from TechReviewer's recommendations.

That's great news, @sungokpyo! You won't be disappointed with the LG 86" QNED90 - it's a fantastic TV! And don't forget to enjoy the smooth motion and immersive gaming experience that comes with its 120 Hz refresh rate. Happy viewing!
