Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Typically

If you are buying into the market and can buy all your gear, TV with HDMI, go do it. It is the "next" technology that most will be using.

If you have a DVI component right now, it is a better idea to stick with other DVI gear b/c a lot of people are reporting problems when a HDMI to DVI adapter is used, mainly getting the "black crush."

From video PQ point of view, HDMI has no advantage over DVI. But companies are touting HDMI b/c it is able to carry digital audio signal. However, when you think about it, the audio capability is not needed usually b/c usually people connect DVD player's video output to the monitor but don't connect the audio. The DVD player's digital audio output gets connected to the home theater receiver.
