HDMI

HDMI delivers the best image quality of any of the cable types available and it'sall done over one cable. You get a great picture and cut down on your cable clutter. HDMI provides digital quality and amazing sound so if your TV has HDMI, this is the connection type you should be using.

Connect your antenna or coaxial cable to watch TV programming. This cable usually comes from your Cable box or right out of the wall.
