The VIZIO VW32L HDTV40A has six different ways to connect your video equipment from a basic connection to the most advanced for digital displays.

				HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) - It is the
				first and only industry-supported, uncompressed, all-
Best		White		digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an
(digital)				interface between any audio/video source, such as a
				set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and an
				audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital
				television (DTV), over a single cable.
Best				DTV Coaxial RF. When used for MPEG2 encoded
(digital)				bit streams from ATSC broadcast programming, this
				input takes advantage of the High Definition content.

				TV Coaxial RF. This is the connection for standard
(analog)				NTSC TV using antenna or cable.
				RGB PC (VGA) – This video input has separate red,
Best		Blue		green and blue	color components. The signal
(analog)				carries horizontal and vertical sync information on
				the green signal.	This is most commonly used for
				PC input.
				Component - The video signal is separated into
Better		Green		three signals, one containing the black-and-white
				information and the other two containing the color
		and
(analog)				information. This enhancement over S-Video takes
		Purple
				advantage of the superior picture provided by
				progressive scan DVD players and HDTV formats.
				Composite (AV) - The complete video signal is
				carried through this single (yellow) pin connector.
				This is the most commonly used video connection.
Good		Yellow		S-Video (AV) - The video signal is separated into two
		and		signals, one containing the black-and-white
(analog)
		Red		information and the other containing the color
				information. Separating the color in this way avoids
				‘cross color’ effects where closely spaced black and
				white lines are erroneously displayed in color. It also
				enables text to be displayed more sharply.
