HDMI is a video and audio interface used on the latest AV equipment. The interface supports HD signals surround sound audio and also allows the display to tell the source what type of screen it is. The source and player will then both adjust themselves to obtain the best quality. HDMI video is also directly compatible with DVI connectors, the latest computer display interface. DVI does not support audio so even if the HDMI port on the computer carries a sound signal, using a DVI monitor means that the sound will still require a separate connection. To make use of the HDMI output, an HDMI to DVI cable will be needed. They are commonly available from AV dealers and other video stockists. Laptops are moving towards HDMI as the video output because of the reduced size compared to DVI or VGA. As laptops get ever smaller, the connector size becomes more significant so HDMI will become more and more common. It is worth saying that most HD televisions that have HDMI inputs will worth with most computers using a simple HDMI - HDMI cable.
