Why Should You Use Hdmi On Your New High Definition Tv?

By: Vic Metten


Print This Article Post Comment Add To Favorites Email to Friends Ezine Ready


Great question. Many are wondering why they should use this new connection on their HDTV"s and DVD players. In a simple word, it"s all digital.

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a next step connection, passing fully uncompressed audio and video signals between your source equipment and your HDTV. Instead of myriad connections like component video (that Red/Green/Blue set of jacks) or DVI, HDMI does it all in one small jack so you won"t need an additional audio connection to complete your picture and sound.

What does this mean to you, the person buying all of this new confusing equipment? It means that, instead of buying tons of cables to make it all work, you just need one cable between your HDMI equipped source (like a Blu-ray, Xbox 360, Wii, HD cable or satellite box, new A/V surround receiver, etc"¦) and your HDTV.

It couldn"t be simpler. Not only do you get amazing picture quality at up to 1080p, but you also can receive uncompressed discrete surround audio. Now some will say, "My current component video cable setup looks and sounds fine on my new HDTV" and sure, in a lot of ways that"s true. But your component video cable cannot connect a Blu-ray player to your new HDTV and provide everything the new HD medium offers. On a set of over 50 inches, changing to Blu-ray and going to 1080p is like cleaning the windows on your house. Sure you may be able to see through them normally, but when they are spotless it"s like they aren"t there.

Here"s an example that can show you why HDMI is the way to go. Pick up a title like I, Robot ""¢ on regular DVD and on Blu-ray. Connect your new Blu-ray player both with HDMI and with component video and a set of audio cables. Then watch the movie on normal DVD. It will look great and sound good. Now put in the Blu-ray, set your player to 1080p to match your new HDTV, make sure your surround receiver is capable of the new audio formats like DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio. Watch the movie all over again. The difference is astounding. Not only is the video quality better, almost 3-D in appearance, but the master audio soundtrack is like being there during the filming. Amazing depth of image and sound are a true testament to why you want to use HDMI connections with your new HDTV equipment!

Another reason to use HDMI is with a new A/V digital surround receiver. You can receive both Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio tracks via HDMI. This is something your Toslink optical and coaxial digital cables can"t do, and it"s a truly amazing improvement over your normal surround track on DVD. Now, not only do things pan around your 5.1 or 7.1 theater, they do it in a much more controlled, immersive way. The difference is noticeable right from the start.

So, now you can see why, if you have the means of using it, HDMI can simplify your connections, eliminate the rat"s nest of wires behind your equipment, and provide unparalleled picture and sound on your new 1080p televisions, projectors, and Blu-ray disc players.

About the Author:
As a home theater installer, Vic Metten uses HDMI cables for HDTVs with Blu-ray disk players, because DVI cables and component cables don"t have the range of sound and picture that a single HDMI cable can give. So, for Dvi to hdmi converters or an HDMI adapter, he finds a way to give people the best audio and visual quality he can.
