It is a popular kind of lcd display supporting HDMI interface
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital audio/video interface that will replace the existing signal path of various digital devices such as DVD players, televisions, set-top boxes and monitors in the future. This means that consumers can use just one signal cable to replace the previous several signal cables. You can use it to connect to both DVD players and TVs. This new interface standard was jointly developed by Hitachi, Panasonic, Philips, American Crystal Image, Sony, Thomson, Toshiba Corporation.
The biggest benefit of this new digital interface is that it can transmit audio and video data simultaneously, giving consumers the highest sound and picture quality experience. Digital audio can now use light to transmit digital signals, but digital video devices like DVD players are still using the S terminal. It is a very popular analog signal interface. Of course digital video interface has long been available, it is called DVI, you can usually see this interface on the LCD monitor.
The latest HDMI interface has three distinct differences compared to the DVI interface. First HDMI supports higher resolutions than DVI. Approximately HDMI can support twice the resolution of the current HDTV. Second, DVI only supports the transmission of video signals, but audio signals have to be transmitted using a separate cable. HDMI can carry out the audio and video digital signal of the same transmission. Third, the size of the HDMI interface is much smaller than the DVI interface. What makes consumers happy is that HDMI is backward compatible with DVI interfaces, which means you can use HDMI devices to connect DVI devices, using only a small adapter cable in the middle to get it done. When the user is fully upgraded to the new HDMI system, the previous DVI devices can still continue to use.
HDMI not only can meet the current highest quality 1080P resolution, but also can support the most advanced digital audio formats such as DVD Audio, support eight channels of 96kHz or stereo 192kHz digital audio transmission, and only one HDMI cable connection, eliminating the need for digital audio wiring. At the same time the HDMI standard has the extra space available to apply to later upgrades of audio and video formats. Enough to cope with a 1080p video and an 8-channel audio signal. And because the demand for a 1080p video and an 8-channel audio signal is less than 4 Gbps, HDMI has a lot of headroom. In addition, HDMI supports EDID, DDC2B, so devices with HDMI have a “plug-and-play” feature where the signal source and display device automatically “negotiate” with each other. “, automatically selecting the most appropriate video/audio format.
