TV connection to CPU

To add clarity, you may need to give some information.

Your TV will have a set of inputs.
HDMI is the current most user friendly input. Most modern media can use this.

The video, card, based on it's chipset probably will not have an HDMI port. It will most likely have 1 - 2 ports, at least one of which will be DVI.

You'll need something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... to make the DVI work with the HDMI. The problem is, the TV will receive NO sound. You're need an 3.5mm TRS to RCA jack (see here: http://www.performanceaudio.com/cgi/product_view.cgi?pr...) to get your audio to the TV.

To clarify what COLGeek meant, usually only the FIRST HDMI port on the TV will have alternative sound options (meaning the 2nd, 3rd, etc.. HDMI ports MUST have HDMI sound to get sound).

Basically, how TV's work is you have a number of Inputs (this is general and can vary by TV), and certain inputs will only have certain options. You probably can only use the first HDMI option because the others won't have any alternative audio input options, it can only use HDMI.

Here's an example; each input will have a number of options:

Input 1 (usually has the most options) HDMI, Composite, S-Video, and RCA (yellow, Red, White) Audio and video)

Input 2 HDMI, RCA, Composite

Input 3 RCA

Input 4 HDMI

Input 5 VGA
