Choosing and Locating Your Video Connections

Many video devices have more than one type of input or output port. When you connect a device to the television, choose the connection that provides the best picture quality. The following table lists different types of connectors and cables in order of picture quality.

Highest quality

HDMI connection. Provides highest-quality, high-definition digital picture and digital surround sound in one connection.

DVI-to-HDMI connection. Very high quality. Requires separate sound connection. DVI is not available on the television, but may be present on your equipment. If so, an DVI-to-HDMI cable or DVI-to-HDMI adapter is required.

Component-video connection (YPbPr). High quality, high-definition picture.

Requires a separate sound connection.

S-video connection. Good quality, standard-definition picture. Requires a separate sound connection.

Composite video connection (yellow). Standard quality, standard-definition picture. Requires a separate sound connection.

Coaxial antenna or cable connection. Standard for picture and sound from antenna or cable service. Digital signals can carry high-definition programs and surround sound.

Standard Quality

All the connections shown are available on the back panel of your new HP HDTV, except the DVI-to-HDMI connection. Take a few minutes and inspect your home entertainment equipment to find the available ports. Choose the highest- quality connection on each, and use that connection to connect to the television.

TIP: If available, set the video output from your source device to 16:9 aspect (wide-screen picture). Refer to the instructions for the video device. This provides maximum compatibility between the device and the television.
