Do you watch movies, game for hours, or just watch the news while you eat dinner?
The type of ports your TV offers plays a major role in how smooth, flexible, and enjoyable your entertainment setup becomes.At Stanlee India– India’s first indigenous TV brand, we believe great technology must also be great clarity.That is why today, we will explain the most common ports and cables used for TV connections; simply, clearly, and without any confusing jargon!
- HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface): The Star Port
HDMI is the most widely accepted and flexible connection that is used for connecting to televisions today.
What to like: –
- It is clean (one cable! an offshoot saves a lot of space and looks professional),
- It can support 4K, 8K and high refresh rates!, –
- There are four different versions of capacity (HDMI 1.4, 2.0, 2.1)
Stanlee India tip: if you are a gamer or plan on eventually going to a 4k television, really go with the HDMI 2.1—you want that framed within its frame to run smoother and look better in general.
- USB Port: Not Just for Charging
USB (Universal Serial Bus), in addition to connecting pen drives and hard disks, also connects power to devices.
What you can do with USB:
- You can watch movies or photos from your USB drive
- You can connect a wireless keyboard/mouse
- You can update your TV firmware
Stanlee India’s Wisdom: Not all USB ports run the same speed. Look for USB 3.0 (normally blue) for fast file transfer.
- Audio Out (3.5mm Jack or Optical Cable): Sound All Around
Want to connect external speakers or soundbars?
3.5mm Jack: The basic speaker or headphone solution
Optical Port (TOSLINK): The high-quality digital sound for home theatres and/or soundbars
Stanlee India’s Audio Pro Tip: Optical audio is the way to go when you want that theatre sounding feel for your movies or gaming!
- AV Ports (RCA): The Good Old Days
Remember the red, white, and yellow cables that came with almost every older TV?
Examples of use cases: • To connect old DVD players, VCRs, and gaming consoles
Color-coded and simple
Old meets New: Most of our Stanlee India’s models have AV capability so you don’t have to throw away your childhood and nostalgia!
- Ethernet (LAN) Port: The Internet Jack
Don’t want to mess with Wi-Fi? Plug in a LAN cable!
Pros of using LAN over Wi-Fi:
More stable connection
Software updates occur faster
6. RF (Coaxial Cable): Old School But Reliable
This port is used for cable or satellite TV connections (like Tata Sky or Dish TV).
Stanlee India’s Signal Alert: If your TV says, “No Signal,” always check this port first…it’s usually the case!
