I am looking at a new HDTV with intentions on connecting it to my HTPC. I thought I would try and find a model that had a DVI input to connect it up directly to my AIW. I have found quite a few TV's that have this. After doing some research though, I am getting mixed messages about display quality, cable length issues, etc. from using DVI. Few models in my price range ($2000-$2500) have a 15 pin VGA hookup. Should I just get a VGA to component convertor and be done with it?

Have you decided on a projector yet? I've been thinking the same thing as far as HD to HTPC, but think I want to stay with DVI if possible. What are you going to use for a HD video card. MyHD or HOLO3D card?


Have you considered these?

If you are considering an RPTV, Mitsubishi models have a RGBHV connection that can be cabled directly to a VGA card, no transcoder necessary, just the HD15 (VGA) to RGBHV cable.
