Their high end premium TVs have had it since 2019 https://www.techradar.com/news/samsung-one-connect-box

The One Connect Box has all the ports including power, HDMI, ethernet, USB etc. and the TV has just one proprietary port where you connect the One Connect Box.

That is not a step forward.

It is - at least you can then exchange the box with the ARM CPU when the new versions of Netfix and Youtube apps start requiring 16GB of memory and a teraflop CPU, without having to chuck a screen that works perfectly fine.

Of course you can also just by an external Nvidia Shield unit and connect it by HDMI, like you can now.

Does the display have a HDMI ports or only the connector box? If the screen has some, it would be awesome. If it is only the box it would be crap.

So it's the regular smart TV just its smartness - any any useful ports you'd want from a TV - comes in two parts?

I'm not sure that's what the parent commenter was asking for.
