> still rare to find a TV where all HDMI ports are 2.1

On a couple of 4K Samsung monitors I have, HDMI port 1 is HDMI 1.4 and HDMI port 2 is HDMI 2.0.

Couldn't be simpler. The HDMI version is on the port label. Something about the situation makes me chuckle.

Why aren’t they all hdmi 2.0, isn’t it backwards compatible? Or it’s just to save them a $ while technically still being able to advertise it as hdmi 2.0 ?

I'm going to assume it was cost cutting.

The boss said to make sure it had an HDMI 2 port. The engineer could have interpreted it two ways, so they did both ways in one.

Probably it would need a better CPU to handle more traces and that's the real expense
