So I was interested in getting a TV to set up above my two monitors I have at my desk and use it as a third monitor.
(I would use it for movies, watching esports/streams/youtube etc.)

But I don't have another hdmi slot available on my graphics card. I'm using the one that was available on it, and a VGA cable for the other monitor.
I'm pretty sure most TV's use hdmi, right? First time buying a TV so I have absolutely no idea what to look at.
