How do i get HDMI Quality?

Hi, just got my 32" HD Ready TV today, and with my GTX i have the required HDMI connectors and whatnot. Anyway, i currently have the pc connected via the usual VGA, i have no lead to connect the HDMI.

So i was wondering if anybody could help me in what i need, do i need a cable or somekind of VGA to HDMI adapter?

Sorry, completely new to HD TV's and the like, so appreciate the help.

Thanks :cool:

I bought a DVI-D to HDMI cable off an auction site - works perfectly!

You dotn want anything going through VGA.

You should be using a DVI to HDMI convertor.

Ok cheers, one more question. I can play a couple of games so far, but when i launch Fifa 09 i get No Signal message and no display. Any ideas why that is, or should i just get this cable and hope that sorts it?

Also will running this in VGA have any lasting damage, its only a temp solution until i get the lead.

Cheers

Should be fine either way, as the connectors are the same on both sides.

No, running in VGA won't cause any damage, it's just lower quality
