[robina_80]

ive just seen a gfx card with a HDMI interface on it why would you need one, all monitors yous d-sub or the new DVI interface

It would be perfect if you owned an HDTV, maybe it would be more convenient for some people.

The adapter for DVI-HDMI is only about $30, even for Monster. I would use HDMI in a heartbeat.

My gfx card is only VGA and S-Video, I am go into hook up an HDTV also, so I guess I need a new gfx card... The TV has VGA, component and HDMI, I will obviously use the VGA for the monitor, so should I get a gfx card with VGA and DVI and use an HDMI/DVI changeover cord, or get one with VGA and component.
I plan on getting it from tiger direct, and they have one of each for about $59

HDMI connectors is for high quality connection to an HDTV. the most recent version of the HDMI cable(1.3 i think) also puts the audio through the cable so there is only need for one cable(the HDMI) to output the video and audio

You can pick up one of those for $7 on Newegg.

OK Cool, So dont worry about component, Just get DVI/VGA with adapter.
They are the same price, Would it be woth it to get the one with Component. Or not even bother... Ive never heard of diablo before
