“Anybody have discrete input or power for a Konka x11?” Near future request... [Link: apple.news]

That name is just loaded with market appeal, eh?

Even the cheapest TV on the market could have full discretes rivalling the best ever created. The company just has to a) want it, and b) pay someone to implement it. After it's done for the first set, it could likely be copy-pasted in future sets' programming with little effort.

So, anything can be done. And with today's technology, it can be done cheaply and easily. The problem is most companies just don't care enough to do it.

Only consider that not every manufacturer makes all their sets. Cheaper ones can be subbed out to other Chinese factories and avoid all the engineering costs on a $129 television.

It’s been done this way forever. We used to read the FCC code off the back of brand name products to find out who the MANUFACTURER was. Then we might find parts...
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.

This brings us back around to having to take the TV down from the wall to see the label and get that information.

Apparently, though we installers are a HUGE portion of their business, TV manufacturers don't think it's important to put their labels where they can be read when the TV is mounted to the wall. I suppose that's because they also believe that TVs rarely get mounted to the wall.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

Some TVs still have the model number on the edge of one side. It can sometimes be found by going into the menu and looking for 'About' or if it's a Samsung, it may have a user's manual.
