HDMI stands for high-definition multimedia interface. HDMI supports the connection between equipment such as a blu-ray player and a flat-screen HDTV or projector. HDMI combines both video and audio interfaces into a single connection, which ultimately simplifies the installation process of your home-entertainment system. Cheaper HDMI cables offer 1080P HD images and sound, but as with all cables, a higher quality HDMI cable will ensure a more stable connection for consistent picture and sound quality.
