Is it something I can use to watch those movies directly from my computer on my TV set without having to convert them to dvd format ? Please clarify.

In short:
Its a wire and a port, Just like USB.
A tad longer:
Its an interface used to hook up you monitor to the video device (GFX card, DVD player etc.)
Its used to send HD audio and video into you monitor from the device.
====
No set top box in India has an HDMI o/p. Given that HDTV doesn't broadcast in our bandwidth starved country anyway, the HDMI would be useless, even if it was provided. For Standard definition content you component connectors or VGA connectors are more than sufficient.

HDMI is a high quality transmission standard which can carry HD contents upto 1080p along with uncompressed multichannel sound upto 7.1.
ull need a gfx card with HDMI out and an HDTV with HDMI in for an HDMI setup. And ull need HD contents on PC to take full advantage of it.
Practically HDMI doesnt have much difference from DVI, but it had content protection and audio integrated feature, ie audio n video in same cable.
gud quality HDMI cables are expensive, even 1~2m one will cost 3~4k for med quality and some 7~8k for gud ones.

DVI is also another way of transmiting the uncompressed video only signals to the reciver. Generally we don't see any TVs having DVI, only moniters do. Where as HDMI can transmit both audio and video up to 1600P.
come on don't pull my legs. No DTH service in india has High Definition video transmission. It will take some years.

Still didn't understand. Do we use HDMI to transfer videos from PC to TV or the other way around ?

^^ Its not for transferring AFAIK.
It is like an Audio/Visual connection cable cord or I can say that it is like the VGA cable which connects your monitor to the CPU.

If you want to connect your HDTV with the computer, you can use HDMI if your graphic card has it.
Newer gaming consoles these days like PS3 also come with HDMI ports.

Consider it as Iomega's Apple TV.

It means, its useless to buy BenQ E2200HD having HDMI port as no set top box supports it. It's better to go for BenQ T2200HD having all features except HDMI.

I have some queries regarding BenQ E2200HD and need some help.
Actually, I want to connect Airtel Set Top Box to LCD but don't know how ?
Output in Airtel Set Top Box :
1) yellow white red cables (don't know exactly what we call them composite cables or not)
2) TV Out (What is the use of this ?)
Output in BenQ E2200HD :
1) DVI
2) VGA
3) HDMI
Output in my graphics card Nvidia 7300 GS :
1) VGA
2) DVI
3) S-Video (What is the use of this ?)
Also tell me the approx cost of S-video and HDMI cables ?
Thanks
