HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) - It is the first and only industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an 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		three signals, one containing the black-and-white
	Green	information and the other two containing the color
(analog)		information. This enhancement over S-Video takes
		advantage of the superior picture provided by
		progressive scan DVD players and HDTV formats.
		Composite - The complete video signal is carried
		through this single pin connector. This is the most
		commonly used video connection.
Good	Yellow,	S-Video - 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.
