The acronym HDMI stands for: High-Definition Multimedia Interface.

Today it is becoming common to have an old game console such as a PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 or Xbox (or all of them), a DVD or Bluray player and an HDMI stick, Android TV Box or hard drive connected to the television and it is necessary that our TV has a sufficient number of HDMI connections to avoid plugging and unplugging cables, you can have them all connected and well organized and hidden.

HDMI is currently the default video and audio transmission interface in televisions, therefore it is important to have enough ports since all external devices are prepared to use this type of connection.
