How do I determine if my tv is hdmi?

Great Answer

Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

HDMI stands for High Definition Media Interface, which describes a type of cable connection for transmitting high-definition video signals. HDMI cables are used to connect a high-def television to a high-def DVD recorder, Blu-Ray player, or cable or satellite service transmitting in high definition. Determining whether your TV is HDMI-ready is merely a matter of checking the connections on the back of the set.

Move the Television Safely

Turn off the television set and pull it away from the wall or forward on your TV stand so you can look behind the cabinet. Wall-mounted flat-panel televisions will have to be lifted off the mounting bracket and taken down to inspect the back unless you have a pivoting wall mount that will allow you to turn the television far enough to one side for a look at the back panel. Get a friend to help you move the flat-panel off the wall. The sets are not excessively heavy, although it may be hard to get a good grip with both hands on a widescreen television more than 42 inches, and this is not the sort of object that can withstand a crash into the floor.

Checking the Connections

On the back of a high-definition television, you will find several rows of jacks for connecting different types of audio/video equipment. You are looking for a jack shaped like a trapezoid and roughly the same size as a USB connector (which is rectangular and so cannot be confused with HDMI). The HDMI jack should be labeled as such. A photo of an HDMI connector is available in the reference section.
