I have a 32" LCD and an upscaling player I sometimes take to my GFs house to watch movies (she's a bit of a luddite, with an old CRT and a VCR) All I have to do is plug in the power cords and one HDMI cable (that I didn't give back to Comcast when I gave them back my box) and I'm done]]>Jan 2nd 2008 6:08PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/02/hdmi-opinions-from-the-field/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/02/hdmi-opinions-from-the-field/"Your must use different connection to view this contant"

I hate HDMI, DVI connectors are way better, they're screw on and work great, they could have easily get a pair of wire for Digital Audio on the DVI connection. OH yeah I forgot DVI didn't pass for stupid HDCP thingy.

The best thing people can do for themselves though, is get DVE or DVE HD and calibrate their TV on all inputs. Then test to see what input they think looks best, I guess if that kind of matters to them or they are able to do it with DRM and all that crap.

I like HDMI for the most part. I don't like HDCP/DRC that they are forcing on us. I have a love hate with the moving target spec of HDMI. In one aspect, it makes spending money on home theater products harder since they can become outdated, but on the other hand it is nice that it is getting upgraded and we don't (yet) have another connection being forced down our throats (Firewire, DVI anyones?). I also am both sides of the fence on the single connection for audio and video. It is nice because it is one connection. However it sucks unless you have a receiver and device that supports it. On top of that, what about sending the video to the TV, but just the audio to the receiver... it can be done but if you are looking for the new DD and DTS audio formats it can't with out HDMI (and bitstreaming) or with out a HDM player with 7.1 analog outputs (and a receiver with 7.1 inputs).

hopefully as time passes, and if HDMI remains the standard, things will settle down and make it easier on all of us.]]>Jan 3rd 2008 7:53AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/02/hdmi-opinions-from-the-field/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/02/hdmi-opinions-from-the-field/Jan 2nd 2008 10:35PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/02/hdmi-opinions-from-the-field/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/02/hdmi-opinions-from-the-field/Jan 3rd 2008 2:45AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/02/hdmi-opinions-from-the-field/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/02/hdmi-opinions-from-the-field/
