HDTV+ PC Connections...

[Shpongle]

I just purchased a new LCD, and am using it as a monitor..was just curious what my options are as far as connections go. I'm running VGA at the moment, and was wondering if anyone could enlighten me about HDMI? I learned the hard way that HDMI to DVI only works from TV to PC, and not PC to TV...but I know there are DVI adaptors for HDMI...can you run HDMI to HDMI for an HDTV( when used as a monitor,of course..)

The TV in question is an RCA L32WD22,by the way... 1200:1;6.5ms;32";

Ok, since you clearly do not understand the terminology, I will try to speak as simply as possible.

You can display anything you want from your computer on the TV with a DVI to HDMI cable or converter plus a regular cable of either type. (DVI/DVI cable with conversion to HDMI at the end, or the other way around) Sound will have to go to the TV through some other cable unless you have a video card with the sound inputs on it, and that's still pretty rare for the moment so don't worry about it.

If you graphics card has a DVI port just get a DVI-HDMI cable to connect the TV to your PC. HDMI is the same video signal as DVI but is able to carry sound as well.
