What Are the Benefits of HDMI? (Plasma) TV/Audio/Video Buyers' Guide

High-Definition Audio and Video

HDMI is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. An uncompressed, all-digital signal translates into the highest quality video and audio, direct from the source.

Simple Connectivity

A single, all-digital cable connection means no more confusing wires and no more mess. With an HDMI connection, you can connect any HD audio or video device to your system with a single input, for a streamlined system and no confusing cables behind your components.

Integrated Control

With an HDMI connection, it’s easy to integrate all your audio and visual devices into a single remote control. HDMI has built-in sensors that automatically recognise and configure your AV devices on demand. With the click of a button, your remote control knows which components to turn on to watch a DVD, listen to music, or watch TV programmes.

Automatic Format Adjustment

An HDMI connection automatically configures the visual format of your display to match the content. Whether you’re watching TV programmes, sports, films, or video games, you’ll see everything as it’s meant to be seen.

PC Compatibility

HDMI PC-compatibility makes it easy to connect your PC to your HDTV, so you can display PC gaming or PC entertainment content.
