The Truth About HDMI Output on the R36H Retro Console: What They Don't Tell You
It is essential to clarify a common confusion surrounding the R36H retro console: many users have purchased this device thinking that it has an HDMI output, initially when it went on sale showing images with a very similar HDMI output to its direct competitor, the Anbernic RG35XX H. However, upon receiving the console, they discover that the R36H does not include an HDMI output, which generates surprise and frustration.
This misunderstanding stems from the erroneous promotion that associates the R36H with HDMI output capability, even though it actually doesn't have this port. While it's often mentioned that the R36H is comparable to other consoles like the Anbernic RG35XX H , this simply isn't the case, as Anbernic is on a different level, starting with not resorting to fake sales pitches.
As if that were not enough, the R36H's OTG output, which allows you to connect peripherals such as controllers and connect to the Internet, does not support video output, so you will not be able to use it to view content on an external screen, as is the case with the R36S, its sister, neither bigger nor smaller, but we will see the comparison of these in another blog.
This is a topic often overlooked in R36H promotion, and it's vital for users to keep in mind that if they're looking for a retro console with HDMI output, if the R36s wasn't an option, the R36H won't be the right choice either. If you've seen advertising mentioning this capability, it's important to know that this is incorrect information.
