I'm dealing with a Sanyo TV from around the 2010s, it's 32 inches, and I'm experiencing issues where the HDMI feed keeps cutting in and out while using my Nintendo Switch and DVD player. Occasionally, the audio continues, but the screen goes black, and at times both the video and audio fail altogether. I would prefer not to rush into replacing the TV, especially since it still has ports I use for retro gaming with my Wii and my dad's old game consoles. What could be causing this issue? Should I think about hiring a repair technician, or is it time to invest in a new TV?

Given the age of your TV, the problem might be due to a loose or faulty HDMI port. Most TVs are often only designed to last around 5-10 years, and yours is about 16 years old. I understand you want to keep it, but you might find it necessary to look for a new TV if you want reliable HDMI connections.
I hear you on wanting a 'dumb' TV with no extras! Those can be tricky to find nowadays. You might want to check local electronics stores or online retailers that offer basic models. Just make sure to check the specifications to ensure it fits your needs without those smart features.
