hdmi

Hi,

A friend I believe has a HDTV with a hdmi connection. He wants to connect the hdtv to his pc...

Now I remember the days with S-VIDEO but has this all now changed since the launch of HDTV??

Can you attach a convertor on the svideo input on your gpu so the signal is converted to HDMI? if that makes sense..or do you need a new gpu with its own HDMI connector?

Also is the point of putting a HDMI input on a gpu so that you can watch hdtv / blueray quality movies??

Please clarfiy, I'm confused...

Thanks in advance..

Cheers

what connection should the gpu have?

dvi on gpu and hdmi on monitor?

does this mean you can connect to plasmas?

my card has 2 dvi ports its a 7900gtx...

but I am asking in general...

how do you connect a gpu to a plasma? do you need a hdmi port on the gpu?

thanks
