How Compatible Is HDMI?
HDMI is fully backward compatible with PCs, displays and consumer electronics devices incorporating the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) standard. Both HDMI and DVI were pioneered by Silicon Image and are based on TMDS®, Silicon Image’s powerful, high-speed, serial link technology. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio, and with 5 Gbps of bandwidth, HDMI can accommodate future enhancements and requirements. Because HDMI was designed specifically for consumer electronics applications, it offers an array of additional consumer enhancements. As digital content can manifest itself in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, HDMI-enabled systems will automatically configure to display content in the most effective format. In addition, if implemented in a specific device, HDMI enables a single remote point and click, allowing manufacturers to deliver home theater systems that automatically configure from a single command from a remote control — turning on or off the components necessary to view a DVD, listen to a CD, or watch cable or satellite TV.
What is the difference between HDMI 1.3 and HDMI 1.3a, or 1.3b?
For consumers, there is no difference between HDMI version 1.3 and 1.3a or 1.3b. These minor revisions to the specification typically relate to manufacturing or testing issues and do not impact features or functionality in a specific product. In addition, HDMI Licensing, LLC is actively working with manufacturers to reduce confusion for consumers by de-emphasizing version numbers and focusing instead on product features and functionality.
How can I identify which HDMI products support a specific feature, such as DVD Audio or Deep Color?
The key for consumers to remember is that HDMI has consistently enabled a variety of the most innovative new technologies (whether they are DVD Audio, SACD, 1080p/60, etc.). However, in many cases, it is up to each manufacturer to choose which features to implement in any given product. The manufacturer can choose the mix of features that makes sense for its customers and products. So, customers must choose devices that have the features that they want (instead of focusing on which version of HDMI is implemented by the device.). Consumers interested in confirming whether a particular consumer electronics product supports DVD-Audio or any other feature over HDMI are urged to review users’ manuals and product reviews, or check with manufacturers directly.
What Is Firmware Upgradeable?
Many of today’s electronics product are design for today’s standards. Yet like personal computers, they have advanced capabilities that will let them be upgraded for use with new technologies and standards. The ability to upgrade the firmware of an electronics product allows you to extend the useful lifespan of the device you purchase, and be able to expect support for many (if not all) of the emerging new standards.
What is the difference between Active HDMI and Passive HDMI?
There is no active or passive HDMI in the HDMI specification. These terms apply to cables. Active cables have built-in electronics to enable long cable runs, and typically these cables require a power supply. These cables use active electronics to help push the signal farther than typical passive cables.

I have owned this TV for about a month and I can honestly say I would highly recommend it. There are plenty of people at avsforum complaining about banding and I must say you would have to struggle to ever see any. I think most these guys are looking for problems instead of enjoying the TV. They do have great calibration settings though. Trust me though I compared Samsung, Sony, and Sharp and for the price hands down the best deal out there! Samsung and Sony have clouding issues and this TV doesn’t. By far this TV has an amazing picture with the 120hz and 4ms response. I watch MLB, Golf, and movies in HD and it is amazing. Truly the best HDTV I have seen for sports or movies.
3 HDMI ports, and 2 composite are also 1080p. If not having a computer hookup scares you off know this TV was made to handle one so just buy an DVI-HDMI adapter and enjoy. I Watch DVD’s with a normal DVD that up converts and it looks great. SD shows look as good as any LCD I have ever seen. You won’t go wrong with this TV buy it and enjoy the best black levels you will see on an LCD and the first I chose over a plasma. AWESOME TV!

First and foremost, the picture is wonderful. The color, brightness, viewing angle, etc., are all terrific. That said, there are a couple of things I found annoying and perplexing…
1. When mounted on the wall, the power, inputs, and outputs are all unreachable. If you need to add or change a cable, it means pulling the TV of of the wall. It would have been much better if all of the connections were placed along the side or bottom, so that they were accessible while the unit was on the wall.
2. The mount points for the wall mount are too close together. This leads to the TV feeling wobbly when mounted on the wall. I guess it’s secure, but the amount of play doesn’t instill much confidence.
All-in-all, I’m very happy with the TV. It’s just a shame Sharp didn’t put a little more thought into the physical design of the unit.
