[QUOTE="OleJ, post: 186285, member: 24795"] Cable quality-wise there is no difference whether you run HDMI-HDMI or DVI-HDMI or DVI-DVI :) But some TVs aren't that keen on HDMI and standard resolutions. With my Samsung I've had some problems when using DVI-HDMI because the TV reports some weird resolution sizes back to my videocard resulting in terrible pixelmapping. Since my TV doesn't have DVI I run VGA (D-SUB) and 1:1 pixelmapping, which means that text and so forth is razor sharp, crisp, clean and nice. And picture quality can't get better :) I would recommend you look at a Radeon HD2400. You can get these passively cooled and they even support DVI-HDMI including audio!! Yeah, I said: Including audio. Which means that you only need one cable to TV :) And IIRC the HD2xxx series also supports HD decoding and they're even pretty cheap. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
