Very confused about video connections (AV, Component, DVI, VGA, RGB, HDMI, S Video, ect.)?
Ok i dont know why on earth we have to have all these differnt types of cord and stuff, i just wish we could keep it simple like just HDMI and none of the AV, component or the other cabkes. But i guess HDMI is oretty new....i just know i hate unorinized stuff and i hate wires i i with it was all wireless. But our LCD HD TV (Vizio VX42L HDTV10A) has 2 HDMI ports, an Anolog L & R audio inputs, "RGB PC" input (im guessing thats the same as a VGA?), and a Component 1 and 2 things, 2 AV connections, a DTV/TV cable/antenna, and optical input, and a red and a white anolog outs, and no DVI (which stinks because thats what i was gonna use to connect my MacBook Pro to the Samsung 23" LED monitor i was gonna buy)...and I know that theres even differebt types of DVI (like DVI - I) and it sort of irritates me because i cant figure anything out....can anyone please help me!?!?!?!? Thank you sooooo much!!!
It's actually simple if you follow these rules:
1. Every device (game, DVD/Blu-Ray player, cable box, etc.) you connect to the TV needs one cable connected to the TV for video, and one cable connected to the TV for audio. HDMI is the only exception; a single HDMI cable carries both video and audio.
2. In order of best to worst quality, video connection types are: HDMI or DVI, Component (3 plugs red/blue/green), S-Video, composite video (yellow plug). Always use the best quality connection that's available on the device. Note that you can't get HD with S-Video or composite video.
3. In order of best to worst quality, audio connection types are: HDMI, optical digital, coaxial digital (the coaxial cable looks like a TV cable), analog (2 plugs red and white).
Other notes:
- Some TVs have VGA connectors which might be labeled VGA or PC. These are similar quality to HDMI or DVI, but don't include audio.
- Some TVs have audio outputs, usually analog audio or optical. These can be connected to an amplifier, speakers, or a home theatre setup - the audio being output will be the same as whatever source you are currently watching.
- DVI comes in different flavors: DVI-D (digital only), DVI-A (analog only), DVI-I (integrated, digital & analog), M1-DA (integrated, digital, analog & USB)
