Why Do I Need An Hdmi Connector On The Tv?

In modern televisions of the middle price segment and above, and sometimes budget models, the user can find several outputs with a different interface. Almost always, among them there is HDMI, one or more pieces. In this regard, many people are interested in what can be connected to this connector and how to do it.

HDMI destination on the TV

HDMI transmits digital audio and to a high definition television (HD). You can connect any device with an HDMI connector to the TV: laptop / PC, smartphone, tablet, game console, etc. Quite often, using HDMI, the TV is connected as a monitor, because, due to its size, it is more convenient for games, viewing movies listening to music.

The main parameters of the latest versions of HDMI (1.4b, 2.0, 2.1):

• Support for 2K and 4K resolutions (50 / 60Hz and 100 / 120Hz), in the future, 5K, 8K and 10K resolutions will be supported when such displays appear;
• Support for 3D 1080p at 120Hz;
• Bandwidth up to 48 Gbit / s;
• Up to 32 channels of audio;
• Improved CEC support, DVI compatibility.
