> powered only from the HDMI port

Looking at the marketing material, it’s clear Amazon is trying to make people think this and hope they’re not disappointed when they find out that, yes, they still have to plug it into the wall.

There’s only one tiny image on the product page [1] that shows the power cord coming out. Every other image is very careful to show it from an angle that makes it seem like the HDMI cable is the only cable.

There is text that mentions the power cable, but you have to scroll down pretty far (about 60% of the way down) before you’ll see it.
