I'm looking to buy a new TV and am considering the Sony 65" A95L. However, I've been reading that it only has four HDMI ports. Is this going to be an issue for me? Will I run out of ports if I want to connect multiple devices?
Sony 65" A95L HDMI Ports - Sufficient?

The Sony 65" A95L does have four HDMI ports in total - two HDMI 2.1 ports and two HDMI 2.0 ports. This should be sufficient for most people, but it really depends on your specific needs. If you plan on connecting multiple high-definition devices like a gaming console, Blu-ray player, soundbar, etc., then you might run into issues with the number of ports.
I have the Sony 65" A95L and haven't had any issues with the HDMI ports so far. It's true that it could be an issue if you need to connect multiple high-definition devices directly to the TV, but you can always use a switch or hub to expand your connectivity options.
I agree with @Misteren. A switch or hub can definitely help if you find yourself needing more HDMI ports. Additionally, many devices now support Wi-Fi or Bluetooth streaming, which can also reduce the need for direct HDMI connections.
That's a good point about using a switch or hub. The TechReviewer article HDMI Capabilities of the Sony 65" A95L TV discusses some highly-rated options that could work well with the Sony 65" A95L. It might be worth checking out if you're concerned about the number of HDMI ports.
