hooking up your pc to your tv?

is there any problems if i hook my pc to hd tv ?

and what connection shoudl i use vga or dvi?

and has any one got any more advise on this please add

Dont most new graphics cards come with HDTV cables (blue, red, green or something connections?)

Also, if its an LCD tv it should have a standard monitor connection in addition to regular tv ones.

as for VGA or DVI, it depends on the connection...but they sell adapters as well so its doesnt really matter.

You can, but you will be limited to the resolution of the tv...

Even if it's a HDTV that's in 1366 x 766, that is all you will be able to do.

I've been hooked up to my Samsung LCD 32inch for about a year and there is no going back to a regular monitor for me. Most games have a 1366x760 setting and it looks great. Even games that have to be set at 1024 look good. I'm using the vga connection and have loved it from the start. Looking at going bigger for Bioshock. Can you say 52" Bravia LCD??? mmmmmmmm??

I have a 50" Plasma and use a dvi -> HDMI cable connection off my videocardto the TV.

So I the dvi end is dvi and thehdmi side goes to the tv. While its true I only can get 1024 x 768 (best resolution for thisTV), it still makes aHUGE difference or a 21" monitor.

No joke? That sounds really cool. I'm currenlty using a 22" lcd monitor...but, if I can just hook it up to an lcd tv with my cable...well, let's put it this way. I might never leave my room. ;)
