HDMI

Over Christmas I finally got around to ordering an HDMI cable to connect my PlayStation3 with M's HD-enabled TV. At the time I wasn't even aware of what HDMI was but it only cost £1 on Amazon. Couldn't go wrong...

So this afternoon I finally got around to connecting it - and was immediately blown away by the difference in image quality. HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface. Whereas my former SCART connection was analogue, HDMI is digital. The difference is akin to looking at a TV screen through a pair of filthy, frosted-up outdated-prescription specs and then ditching them in favour of a brand new pair.

Best £1 I ever spent...
