TCL C845 Mini-LED (2023)

TCL's 2023 C845 mini-LED TV takes a smart approach to its HDMI layout: two full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 (48 Gbps) ports handle 4K 144Hz and 4K 120Hz gaming, while eARC is placed on one of the two HDMI 2.0b ports, so connecting a soundbar never costs you a high-bandwidth gaming input. A single USB, optical audio, a 3.5mm AV input and both terrestrial and satellite tuners fill out the rest. Here's the full connector rundown.
