VCR and gaming consoles became part of these TVs in 1994. Some TVs also had the ability to play 20 channels at once, which is enough to watch football, cartoons and reality TV with the whole family.

Of course, most VHS players don’t have HDMI output — including the one I pilfered from my father-in-law’s house for this project — so you also need a composite-to-HDMI adapter.
