My card has 2 dvi 1 displayport and 1 hdmi ports.

I currently have 2 monitors with dvi and a LED tv with HDMI. From research this will not work as 1 display needs to be connected via DP port.

Should the displayport be favoured in anyway to be connected to a certain screen? e.g. TV over monitor or monitor over TV?

E.g. Should I leave the 2 dvi connected and get a HDMI to DP cable or shall I leave 1 DVI and 1 HDMI connected and get a DVI to DP adapter?

 
Solution
It is better to use the HDMI with the TV. Also I am not sure if HDMI to DP cable can carry audio signal. DisplayPort supports audio but it is not certain to work with an HDMI TV.
