Hi all. Im looking to upgrade my pc at some point in the future. At the moment i have a 26inch samsung tv with pc input. The pc input is a blue vga connection i believe. Some cards that iv looked at have dual dvi connections, however this would not work for me as i have a vga input and 2hdmi connections on the back of the tely.
What i would like to know is if it is possible to have a pc displaying HD. My tv can show up to 1080i, can you buy graphics cards that have a hdmi connection so i could run a lead from the gpu to the hdmi connection on the tv and it would be displayed in hd quality? iv also seen DVI-HDMI dongles. Am i thinking this would be a way around my problem- put the dongle on the dvi connection on the card and then run a hdmi lead from the dongle to my tv? Would this stil display my pc in HD on my tely.

i know thats a lot of questions but feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
 
ok thanks, that would be a way around my problem, however dvi-vga is less efficient than digital-digital i believe, so is it possible to do dvi-hdmi, iv seen these in shops just dont know if they will work with a tv/pc setup?
