Last week we gave you some information about HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface). But does HDMI offer better audio and video than component connections? There's an excellent article at Ecoustics.com that shows it isn't always easy to say which is better. From the article:

DVI/HDMI and Component Video are all video standards which support a variety of resolutions, but which deliver the signal from the source to the display in very different ways. The principal important difference is that DVI/HDMI deliver the signal in a digital format, much the same way that a file is delivered from one computer to another along a network, while Component Video is an analog format, delivering the signal not as a bitstream, but as a set of continuously varying voltages representing (albeit indirectly, as we'll get to in a moment) the red, green and blue components of the signal.
