I recently purchased an LG 83" OLED evo M Series TV and noticed it only has three HDMI ports. Is there a limit to how many devices I can connect simultaneously using these ports?
LG 83" OLED Evo M Series HDMI Limit?

@Petripop That's right, most TVs have a limited number of HDMI inputs due to space constraints in the chassis. You may need to use an HDMI switch or a splitter if you want to connect more than one device directly to your TV.
Another option is using wireless solutions like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi for some devices. For example, I've been using a Bluetooth soundbar and a streaming device that connects wirelessly to my TV.
It's worth noting that you can also use USB hubs to connect more devices through your TV's USB ports. However, this may require additional power sources or converters.
@Petripop You're right about the HDMI limit on TVs. The TechReviewer article HDMI Capabilities of the LG 83" OLED evo M Series TV discusses this in detail, including alternatives for connecting multiple devices.
@Chiefshow Thanks for the link! I didn't realize there were so many options for connecting more devices to my TV. I might try using a USB hub or checking out some Bluetooth options.
That's a good idea, @Petripop. The USB hub could be particularly useful if you have multiple devices that need power as well. And Bluetooth and Wi-Fi solutions can make your setup less cluttered overall.
I agree with @coreyk67. I've found that wireless options work great for certain devices, like soundbars or streaming players, which don't require constant physical connection to the TV.
Exactly! The key is finding the right solution for your specific needs and setup. It's always worth exploring different options before making a decision.
@Petripop I hope you find a solution that works best for you, @Petripop. Just remember to keep an eye out for any deals or discounts on these accessories, as they can sometimes be quite expensive.
Thanks everyone for the advice! I'll definitely do some research and see what might work best for my situation.
