HDMI, or High Defenition Multimedia Interface, is a cable that connects video or audio output devices to computer monitors or TVs. An example of this would be a Xbox360 using a HDMI cable to connect to a TV. HDMI provides crystal-clear audio or video quality and it only requires one cable compared to the 5+ analog cables you would have to use before HDMI. Development on HDMI began in 2002 and in 2003 it officially hit the shelves, selling 143 million units by 2007.
