Most consumers watch the videos they shoot with a full sized camcorder on their TV. There are several ways of doing this, depending on the type of connection you have on both your camcorder and your TV. HDMI is the newest connection and the best way of sending high definition (HD) signals between your devices. Even if your camcorder has a HDMI socket, you may still need to buy the lead separately. Composite sockets are often labelled Video or AV and camcorders often come with a composite lead. It’s worth bearing in mind that the quality of the video will not be as high as with HDMI. The USB connection can be used for transferring your videos to a computer for archiving as well as watching them. However, if your computer monitor is not capable of showing full HD video, you will see better quality on your TV screen.
