HDMI cables carry digital video signals from a source, such as DVD or Bluray player to a display. The interface carries video, audio and related data on a single cable as well as control information.

The interface was designed for digital high definition video but it can can carry a wide range of signals including standard definition, high definition and numerous computer based formats.

HDMI interfaces can use encrypted signals using HDCP, a copy protection standard.

What kind of HDMI cable would you need for a Toshiba laptop and a vizio HDTV?

Any HDMI cable that has an HDMI logo will work. All HDMI products need to be tested and licensed by the HDMI organization. If a cable passes the test, it works. If HDMI cables work, they work as well as ANY other HDMI cable. The digital nature of the signal means that high cost cables do not deliver a better quality image than low cost cables. So, select the lowest cost cable in the store - it will be every bit as good as the most expensive.


How do you connect a playstation 3 HDMI to a comcast box?

You don't. You either connect the PS3 to your HDTV with HDMI and the Comcast box to your HDTV with HDMI cables like I used to have or you connect the PS3 and Comcast Box with HDMI cables like I did to my home theater and then connect the home theater to the HDTV with a HDMI cable. My Comcast box is HD and I have a Sony HDTV and Sony Home Theater equipped with a HDMI repeater.
