hdmi

HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface, and is most often applied in reference to HDMI cables, which allow a port between your multimedia device and your High Definition Television. These cable transfer both audio and video signals.

HDMI cables are often times mis-evaluated and overpaid for based on what service they supply, but this is often not necessary and otherwise, completely wasted. If you search online, several low cost options exist. For a more complete guide to HDMI, check out Wikipedia's article on the subject.

There are also several other HDMI resources available on the net. CNet has several HDMI reviews of your favorite brands, and Engadget has a nice piece detailing the differences between HDMI and component cords. The misconceptions about HDMI aren't huge, though, so don't worry. Just know that you shouldn't be spending egregious prices on a cable.
