HDTV inputs: the Birds and the Bees

"What's with all of these connectors on my new HDTV? Why are there two of these thingies? Do they really have male and female versions of the cables?" If you're new to HDTV and wondering why the connecting cables alone for your HDTV cost more than your last analog television, you need to see the Connectivity Reference Table at DVI Gear.

Learn the difference between a DVI and an HDMI input while also understanding how a male connector varies from a female connector. (Keep the comments clean!). Seriously, for anyone who is unsure of these high-tech acronyms, this reference is for you. Do yourself a favor and check it out before you purchase your new HD set; you'll want to make sure that your video output source is compatible with the television and cables you purchase.
