    Default HDMI

    Can someone tell me what is the difference between the HDMI and HD?
    On the back of my 360 there is a HDMI port and then you have the normal HD cables along with regular AV cables. Seeing as I am recieving a new HDTV for Christmas, I'll need to know what is better?
    Thanks.

    HDMI is for transmitting uncompressed digital streams.

    HDMI supports, on a single cable, any TV or PC video format including standard, enhanced, and high-definition video along with up to 8 channels of digital audio.


    The cables you have on your Xbox are either component or composite cables.

    HDMI is just a step up from those.. and if my memory serves me correct.. here is the ladder..

    Coaxial Cable
    RCA - (Red, Yellow, White)
    S-Video
    Component (Blue, Green, Red)
    HDMI

    No, it's more high quality and can transmit data faster and in more high quality..

    HDMI, FiberOptic (Digital) = Digital Signal, Component/Composite/Coaxial/S-Video = Analog Signal

    So would it be worth forking out £20+ for HDMI cables on 32'' HDTV.

    It wouldn't be worth forking out that much for a real expensive HDMI cable..

    All HDMI cables are essentially the same..

    i spent something in the region of that for my HDMI cable on my ps3.

    i just went to see what mine would look like but i dont know if its on the right settings??

    but HDMI has definitely improved the picture by a mile!! Jesus christ im glad i bought it now lol. 32" as well

    EDIT: agree with above, they are all about the same which i wish i knew that at the time

    Your Xbox has a switch aswell remember called 'HD' so just flick that on, and Xbox doesn't tend to make it 'HD' it's built into your TV
    That's why we seize the moment, try to freeze it and own it, squeeze it and hold it cause we consider these minutes golden.
