That’s one advantage to living in the 21st century: computer “bone yards” and trash-picked parts are stupidly high quality “trash” compared to decades ago.
All 3 HDMI ports are broken. That’s why it was gotten rid of, so I chain adapters with cables I have. Works like a gem. All of my monitors are upcycled. There is so much e-waste because people don’t use adapters.
Asking friends and family for old tech is a gold mine too, especially if you can pop old hard drives in a case for them. Most people wont touch that stuff.
why??
Poverty homies rise up, also I won’t turn down a free tv. I upcycled a few for extra monitors.

That doesn’t explain why you feed it with a 3070
I used to have to, when the monitor does not have any modern ports, you have to get creative with adapters.

hearing this makes me want to visit my local e-waste facility

wow that’s one hell of a dumpster find! even with those ports dead, a 3070 is worth like what, half a kidney?
nice!
Haha, minor misunderstanding, though I did get a deal on the card, I mean the TV was the one with the broken parts.
