    Connecting to a tv

    hi all,

    With my current set up i run a gtx 470 to a 26" tv through a dvi connection which works well.

    I'm going to get a new/second rig with a gtx 570 and i'm looking to get a 32/37"tv to use as the main display as the 26" is a bit small for the viewing distance.

    My question is this; should i hunt out a tv with a dvi again or is a hdmi connection preferable?

    cheers Al

    ( sorry if this is a daft question but i'm not as tech savy as i used to be lol)

    You can think of HDMI as DVI with a consumer friendly end on it, theyre pretty much the same in many respects.

    So if you can find a good priced tv that only has hdmi dont pass up on it as you would be fine using that connection.
    I dont work for PCS anymore, fix it yourself!
