TV manufacturers often limit full HDMI 2.1 features (4K/120Hz, VRR, HDR, ALLM) to only one or two ports, and even those ports default to a lower-bandwidth compatibility mode that must be manually enabled via 'Enhanced HDMI' or 'Input Signal Plus' settings. Budget TVs from brands like TCL and Hisense cut additional corners, including 100 Mbps Ethernet ports instead of Gigabit. Users with PS5s, gaming PCs, or modern streaming devices may unknowingly be running in restricted mode for months, missing out on features they paid for.
