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.

Good		TV Coaxial RF. This is the connection for standard
(analog)		NTSC TV using antenna or cable.
Best		RGB PC (VGA) – This video input has separate red,
	Blue	green and blue color components. The signal carries
(analog)		horizontal and vertical sync information on the green
		signal. This is most commonly used for PC input.
		Component1/2 - The video signal is separated into three
Better	Green and	signals, one containing the black-and-white information
		and the other two containing the color information. This
(analog)	Purple	enhancement over S-Video takes advantage of the
		superior picture provided by progressive scan DVD
		players and HDTV formats.
		S-Video (AV1) - The video signal is separated into two
		signals, one containing the black-and-white information
	Yellow,	and the other containing the color information.
Good		Separating the color in this way avoids ‘cross color’
	Orange	effects where closely spaced black and white lines are
(analog)	and	erroneously displayed in color. It also enables text to be
	Red	displayed more sharply.
		Composite (AV1/2) - The complete video signal is
		carried through this single pin connector. This is the
		most commonly used video connection.
