Current Events > It's kinda nice that HDMI caught on.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I was reminded last night about one of my old TV's, which is sitting nice and cozy. I have fond memories of just how much of a gangbang it was having it connected.
This is a Sanyo, manufactured in Nov 2007, and I guess they figured HDMI was just a fad. It was available, but not standardized.

It has S video, standard component, x2 HD component, coaxial, and the orange is digital audio out. Meanwhile, I laugh at people complaining about 1 or 2 cables ruining their day. It's got mercury bulbs, which is part of why I never just tossed it in the garbage like some would.
It's 19 inches of pure 720p with overscan galore.

I felt I'd share this useless information.

let's go back! I wanna live in a loop of 2007-2009!

Thanks for sharing. Does the TV still work btw

Hell if I know. I last used it in 2013, and it's sat stationary since, so it's probably got a capacitor leak somewhere and my luck it'll short and cause chaos. It was undamaged otherwise, it's just old.

Oh right, it does have a lazy pixel on the left middle, you can massage out with gentle pressure and it'll go away until you try to clean it off. Then you gotta remassage it.

I have that same TV sitting in my closet lol

What's the point of the plastic piece around the antenna socket? It looks like the one on a TV I had that made it damn near impossible to connect an antenna because it constantly got in the way of my fingers when I was trying to screw in the antenna.

The "standard component" looks more like composite video with left and right audio input with analog audio output below it.

Not sure, but I do recall it being a pain for that reason. It's probably to reinforce it or to reduce the risk the cable will get loosened. Though I don't know how loose it'd actually get from being brushed/nudged with how far recessed it is, not to mention it's between the panel/wall.

The other side has a hook to drape a cable on, prob AC cable only due to size.

It's both. To be fair the guide that's difficult to see literally labels it as "ANT" but it's the same coaxial cable for either seeing as both us RF.

So both of you are wrong, it's for shoving ants into.

It's probably a swappable component, so the manufacturer can easy flip production to a IEC port.

IEC is way easier to work with than coax. No idea why we insist on keeping that around.
