HDMI port

Digital display input

An HDMI port is a connector on electronic devices that accepts HDMI cables, transmitting high-definition video and audio between devices like televisions, computers, and game consoles.

Most modern TVs have multiple HDMI ports: Plug the streaming stick into HDMI port 2.

The port's shape—wider on top, narrower on bottom—prevents inserting cables upside down.
