HDTV help!

We just got a 32" 1080p Toshiba LCD. We plan to hook it up to our computer for a variety of reason. The TV has a PC place, but I was wondering: What kind of cord do you need to hook your TV up to your PC?

Probably a DVI or VGA

HDMI or DVI.

What if your computer doesn't have an HDMI input?

Just so I'm 100% right, because I've been drinking.... alot.

Do you want to use your new tv as a computer monitor? If so check the cord that goes to your normal computer monitor and see if you have a spot like that on the new tv - there a good chance you will.

Use a DVI-HDMI cable.

HDMI and DVI are essentially the same thing.
