Video card with HDTV?
I am about to upgrade my video card to a Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS and since it has HD output, i want to use it to hook up to my Samsung LN-S2352W HDTV/monitor....my question is that the video card only has DVI and S-video output and my TV only has VGA and HDMI input ( it also has the HD colored wires and all that) .the video card comes with a DVI to VGA adapter but if i use it, i wont get the HD will I? since i will still be using VGA? do they make DVI to HDMI adapters? I need to know how to get it to work in HD on my monitor
Thanks a lot

Use the VGA adapter. HDTV is a video standard that only applies to televisons, not computer monitors. HD refers to a minimum level of resolutions. Computer monitors have much higher levels of resolution than HD. The HD standard is 1280x720 pixels and top notch 1080p is 1920x1080.
I am running a 7950 GT at 1650x1050, which is the native resolution of my monitor. Your card is capable of up to 2560 x 1600 or "1600p", even with VGA, and is only limited by your monitor and video content source.
As your monitor is a TV, it will not have computer resolutions but the VGA adapter is capable of HDTV output. However, if you are going to upgrade to a video card of that quality, I recommend buying a monitor that will allow it to perform in all its glory, otherwise it is wasted horsepower. There are plenty of lesser cards that can do the max 720p of that TV and you will see absolutely no difference.
