I am wondering what exactly the difference is between DVI inputs and HDMI
inputs.
My knowledge indicates we first had component connections, with RGB cables
(3 RCA jacks) to get full digital pass-thru to a HD TV.
Then they came along with DVI, which is great.. 100% video pass thru, but no
audio. No problem on the audio.. Most HD TV owners have component audio, so
they don't care if they have to take a fiber optic cable from the HDDVD
player to the Sound System. It works just fine but now we have to deal with
HDMI, which passes through all HDTV formats, plus Dolby Digital and/or DTS
audio over the same cable.
I purchased an HP VP6320 HD DLP Projector, and a 10 foot screen than lowers
down from the ceiling. It has the most incredible picture, delivering a
perfect picture (depending on recorded contents) on a 480p and 720p... the
1080i picture is still stunning on a standard definition DVD utilizing the
HDMI jack on the back of the DVD player, and a conversion cable converting
HDMI to DVI. No loss, and a perfect picture of nearly every film. Now I'm
really psyched up for HDDVD and Blue Ray.
I may head to Best Buy this weekend and pick up the HDDVD player. Blue Ray
won't be around until some time in the fall.
Are there any early adaptors of HD DVD that would care to share before I buy
one this weekend?
