What is an HDMI input?

Sorry to have to ask this "chowder-head" question! But for a variety of reasons, I spend my money on 2 channel gear, and my older Pioneer rear projection non-HDTV [50"] serves my needs quite well. In fact, I still play primarily laser discs! Video doesn't get my "Ya Ya's out" like audio does.

Hdmi is the future including the upcoming hi res dvd format/s.
Dvi was/is just a temporary connection...and HDMI does 10-12 bit video were DVI is restricted to 8 bit.
Always choose HDMI at this point on any new purchase if the option is there imo.

Looks as if HDMI 1.2 will handle both sa-cd and dvd-a 5.1.
