Sorry for the delay in replying. I just got home from work. Red, Green and Blue are Component Cables. Component is much better that Composite (Yellow, Red and White Cables). Between Component and the PC Connection, I would prefer the PC connection although the Component would not be a bad 2nd choice. I just think the PC will be better. If a Video Card has HDMI then I would say as is, it should be about the same. Although HDMI is capable of 1080p. In order for you to truly get it is for your DVD player on your computer to be able to do 1080p. Which I am sure it cannot. Now, if computers come out with built in Blu-Ray Players (which I dont know if they do or they do not, but it makes sense that if not now, they should and/or will). Then I would think a Computer with a Built in Blu-Ray would have the HDMI connection be the connection of choice. But, if that is not the case, I think the HDMI would be about equal to the PC connection. I dont know if it does, but I hope this is making some sense.

Computers are coming with Blu-Ray players now. Also Sony sells a Blu Ray drive that you can install yourself.
Also, some computers are being used for media. So these are the ones that usually come with an HDMI video card. Though they won't get 1080P picture unless it has a player that will allow it they can hook up there HDTV cable feed to it if they have a tv tuner card installed(which most media center pcs have). Also, the video card should be capable of getting a HD source. Though they still will only get 1080i picture it's not a bad option to have for future use.

At this point the only true 1080p is the Blu-Ray. So, if your computer has a Blu-Ray player, then the HDMI output is the way to go. Even 1080i will look great using the HDMI connection. But if the best it can do is 1080i (which btw is HDTV, like that is shabby or something), then generally the PC Connection and the HDMI Connection will probably be about the same. If the PC connection can do higher than 1024 x 768 resolution, then I would give it the edge over the HDMI. If Blu-Ray is involved, HDMI is the way to go. Either way PC and HDMI connections cant go wrong. Anything less than that...give it to the PC Connection and dont look back.

Ok I have it hooked up to my TC right now with the standard PC input. It has great picture quality even for video. This is the way I am going to go for now.
I want to get a new case for my computer now so I can fit it with my TV. I have been eyeing a few on Ebay. I also need to get a wireless keyboard and mouse.
Technology is so cool.

I unpluged everything last week after I got everything working. Now I am trying to set it up again and my tv doesn't read my computer. Just something else for me to figure out.

Do you have the TV in PC mode (or input) and is this a Laptop or a Desktop?
