Getting a new HDTV (RCA D52W20) which has a DVI (HDCP) connector on it. I
intent to connect a PC to this connector and was wonder what cables would be
compatible and what would be best.

PC cards have DVI-I connectors, meaning that they have both analog and
digital signals. I believe that the TV expects a DVI-D signal.

Does this mean that I can use a DVI-D cable? Since this is digital, cable
quality should not make much difference in picture quality as long as the
signal is getting into the TV.

Also, any idea what the ideal resolution would be for my PC when connected
to this TV?

Anyone have any pointers for this?
