yuman@programming.devI guess this is tangentially community-related…? anyhow, got an old, 2010 1080p TV with three HDMI ports (one labeled ARC). TV works fine except it takes signal only from 2/5 devices I got.
works with desktop RX 580 and thinkpad T490; no glitches, artefacts, hesitations of any kind, pic comes up instantly.
doesn’t work with PS4, some lame android box, Macbook Air Intel with TB to HDMI adapter; just sits there with “No signal”.
same on all three ports, two different cables.
tried searching but the slop is owerwhelming. never heard of anything similar, is this a known thing?
