The beauty of this TV is the smartness in design. Aside from excellent color and 3D effect, the HDMI capability is excellent. HDMI 1 is capable of ARC (Audio Return Channel) means that when you plug this TV to an NR receiver (network capable av receiver) you don't need another cable for audio, plus the audio is Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, DVD -Audio, DSD. Also if your NR reciever has got video upscaling it will enhance your video to 2K means above 1080p even if it is only 480 from old vcr's (you need HDMI 1.4 10gbit w/ ethernet)Brilliant! Resolution is superv.
