The TV quality is definitely dependant on what your picture is going to look like. You can get alot of info from the user manual of course on that.

I have had best results on a HDMI to DVI-I cable. That way one end hooks right to your computer and the hdmi will hook to your TV. Theres also a DVI-I to HDMI adapter to use on your computer if you only have a HDMI Cable.


I used a S Video connection and had horrible results. So I would personally avoid that.
