I'm at ReactConf again this year with @Anagobarreto! To celebrate, for those of you attending, here is a tutorial for making the Hotel TVs accept HDMI.

There is a second HDMI port "conveniently" located at the back of the TV BEHIND the mounting plate. You have two options to insert your HDMI cord. The first is to squeeze your hand in and wiggle it around. It's really hard but with enough patience you can do it.pic.twitter.com/dSYoronvpQ

The second, which I have not tried (due to lack of a screwdriver), is to remove the two screws preventing the TV from being lifted off, and then removing the mounting plate and putting it. If you're happy being potentially liable for buying a new TV then go for it lolpic.twitter.com/63J6Npcbpj

You would think plugging it in would be all you need to do. But none of the HDMI ports will be active. You need to turn off "LodgeNet" which is the custom hardware/software they use.

To do that, just unplug all the cords at the outlet that aren't the TV.pic.twitter.com/BxNBNBLOWC

Then just restart the TV and it will function as expected, inputs will not work. Now sit back, relax, and watch some quality TV (or play Goose Game™).pic.twitter.com/CqemzbewKt

Oh and make sure you plug that shit back in when you leave or else you'll annoy the next guest and create unnecessary work for the hotel staff.
