Ok, thank you both so much for that information. Is this a good DVI to HDMI cable?:

The TV I have is this one:

I have a couple more questions if you wouldn't mind answering them as well...
1) If I didn't use the TV for the monitor but instead wanted to just hook it up as an extra screen to watch youtube videos online, I wouldn't be able to do this right? Because I only have one DVI port on my old computer?
2) How do I dispose of my old flat screen TV? It works fine except that the remote died and there is no remote that is configured to this very old TV. I called around to the Library, etc. to see if anyone would like this TV or if they knew anyone who may want it, but no one wants it, not even the GoodWill. Where do I take it? I don't think the dump allows us to drop them off there......
3) Can you recommend an inexpensive DVD RECORDER which has a HDMI hookup? I'm still using my old, old DVD recorder but it is starting to die as well and will need to be replaced.
Once again, thanks so much for your answers.
