what is difference between video and hdmi inputs to a hd tv?

I'm guessing when you say "video" you are referring to the red, green, and blue RCA type of connections which are called component. These carry video only and not sound. You will need the red and white RCA connections for the sound. Component will transfer HD in 1080p (many DVD, blu-ray, etc type playing devices will reduce it to 1080i to prevent copying since it doesn't have as many copy protected features as HDMI). HDMI will carry 1080p video and sound in up to 7.1 depending on the original source (some sources could be in stereo, 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1). HDMI has copy protection built in. HDMI struggles carrying a signal more than 50 feet but component can carry a signal farther distances. This is important in video distribution throughout a home or business.

It has RCA style input jacks, which most TVs have in addition to HDMI's all in one connectors. Search for "RCA jacks", see if exemplar images match something on the back of your TV.

There are only 2 inputs. 1 standard audio L/R jacks and one digital audio. No HDMI. You need to plug everything into your tv and use the tv audio out to the speaker bar. Which really is the best way anyways. And then it does have Bluetooth so anything with Bluetooth will connect as well.

I don't know. I'm using HDMI male to male from computer to two HD TVs. Sorry.

Hi. I'm Sorry I don't know for sure on both questions. If you want a guess, I would say probably no hdmi output.

No, you did the right thing. There isn't really any difference between component cables and HDMI. 91 bucks seems pricey, I bought one a year ago for 30 bucks. The only advantage over HDMI is it carries both audio and video. Also when HDCP is implemented you don't have to worry about your videos not playing over component, but that won't be done for years.

Depending on your setup, this is incorrect.If you have an HDMI cable out to your TV, any input signal is getting upconverted. That means if you have a composite cable at 480i going in, it's getting sent at the highest possible conversion. Of course, there's only so much you can do with a 480i signal, so it doesn't look all that much better - but yes, there is upconversion happening.

Hello from Mediabridge...Joshua, I saw your question and thought I would answer since Amazon doesn't typically respond to discussion board posts.HDMI cables are used to connect compatible components such as television and dvd player. HDMI cables will provide digital audio and up to 1080p throughput if they are "High Speed" rated. If you have a 1080p television and a Blu-Ray player, you should be using an HDMI cable to connect them, yes. Be prepared to be amazed. 1080p pictures are breathtaking if you haven't seen them before.

No HDMI input, only VGA and DVI inputs. A HDMI to DVI cable would be required to connect a HDMI device to this monitor.

For the vast majority of situations, HDMI is better than DVI since it can turn into DVI easily but also has other benefits. HDMI and DVI signals are compatible, so you don't even need an adapter to convert; they have DVI-HDMI cables for <$10. HDMI has sound and supports HDCP - DVI has neither. Depending on the HDMI spec version it will have higher/lower/same resolution as dual-link DVI.

Yes and no. There is one HDMI input, but two spots for them. Meaning that it is one to accept the HDMI signal, and one is to accept a composite or other connections. You get a multi plug HDMI to other connections adapter with it. Hope this helps.

The HDMI connector plugs into a computer's HDMI port. The DVI connector plugs into a DVI device such as a DVI monitor.

Okay I see the input formats but, what do the connections equate to; I.e. VGA (CPU connector), HDMI (duh), D-Sub (is this VGA as well?), RGB (is this the 3 RCA color wires?), Digital (do they mean S-Video?), etc.

yes hdmi is for both video and audio signal. make sure the receiver is set to the right input.

It does have one HDMI input. You can hook whatever you want to up to it as far as I can tell. The thing that makes it bad for TV is the viewing angle. As long as you're front and center everything will look awesome. If you're too high or too low it won't look good.

No optical cable is necessary. The HDMI carries the high definition audio and video. (HDMI) High Definition Multimedia Interface. In home theaters, the audio is often extracted from HDMI sources and directed to a surround sound processor while the video is sent to the TV set. See HDMI and HDMI switch.

I have no idea. HDTV sounds like hard drive which is a drive?? But if the screen is like a phone or iPad it will workOn the screen used for drawing.
