What cable??!

[Blackhorse]

Looking to get a 3m cable to i can involve my TV ive got in the corner of the room with the PC (mainly for watching films whilst in bed!)

Anyways done a fair bit of searching and not sure what cable i need and what is best.
The TV is a Samsung 26" LCD(LE26R8) It has 2 HDMI slots, PC Slot, and a whole host of other inputs but from what i read its one of the aform mentioned!

The Graphics card is Connect3D ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI

Not sure what cable would be best, not sure if Overclockers do em? and i know you cant say where to go if they dont, id be happy with the lead i need! lol

Either VGA cable or HDMI-DVI cable. The HDMI-DVI is probably the better option - should be around £16 for a 3m one. It's worth checking your TV manual for which resolutions it supports through VGA/HDMI since some sets offer a limited sets of resolutions through some inputs, like there's some 1366*768 Toshiba sets which do 1366*768 through HDMI but only 800*600 through VGA. Samsung usually have good VGA inputs though.

Acutally there is one limitation of using HDMI-DVI - in some circumstances you may not be able to get sound from your TV that way.
