Not knowing that the back of my computer had an HDMI input, i bought a dvi to hdmi cable at best buy. Should i take it back for a hdmi to hdmi cable? What would the difference be? Im new to this and this is the first time ive tried it.

The only difference is that hdmi can also carry audio signals, otherwise the quality of the digital video signal is the same.
