It may be cheaper to attach the adapter directly to the DVI port on the video card and run a component video cable to the display instead.

PC to HDTV - Do I have what I need?
I have a Raedon 9600XT with a DVI output and a Samsung HDTV with component and SVideo connections.
1) I have my Component/DVI adapter.

2) And I'm not sure what type of DVI I need. I am looking for the cheapest I can get by with.

I thought about that but forgot to mention it. Thanks for the info!
I hope you know that ATI's DVI->Component adaptor won't let you view DVDs at greater than 480p...
What model of Samsung TV do you have?

I know I'm gonna sound like a n00b.... But aren't all DVDs in 480p anyways...? Or are you saying you can't maximize the image to fill the whole TV w/ DVI?
