    HDMI input for full digital HD connection in one cable

    HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion to an analog signal, it delivers an unblemished image.

The HDMI input is fully backward compatible with DVI sources but includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP copy protection.
