In Reply to: am I missing something, or do others think HDMI was a step backwards? posted by cloudwalker on March 25, 2014 at 19:43:33:
HDMI was designed to pass pure digital video unprocessed. Component, IIRC, converts that digital to analog and then passes it on which requires the set to convert back to digital. With my current sets HDMI gives a better picture.
The usefulness of HDMI is apparent if you are an installer. You need just one 1 inch hole instead of a bunch of holes and a lot of cables...
