I use 18" Lcd Dell Ultrasharp I hate comming to work and lookin at tube monitor even flat ones I prefer the look of LCD over anything else gamming well that's not an issue for me cause I don't really game for it to be a bother. I use the dvi connection from my 9800pro and it's pretty sharp however if I watch movies on it, it looses it's quality not very vibrant/sharp but with games like nfs underground looks great!

Hey Pounder, what do you use to connect to the HDTV? I was looking for some kind of adapter last year and couldn't find anything.

Hey Pounder, what do you use to connect to the HDTV? I was looking for some kind of adapter last year and couldn't find anything. </font>[/QUOTE]hey man..I use a DVI cable from my video card to my HDTV..if you don't have a DVI input on your HDTV(and you really should have an HDTV to do this) you can use a breakout VGA cable if your HDTV has RGB+HV (which is horizontal and vertical sync)..now if your TV does not have vertical and horizontal sync connectors then you need to use a transcoder for the component connection..also ATI has a component dongle for specifically this problem..the dongle though limits you to certain 480p resolutions, so I would try the transcoder first before the dongle..if you have DVI in though you're all set to go..check out www.htpcnews.com under their tutorials for connecting to your TV using powerstrip..have to warn you though it's kind of a pain int he *** to set it all up, but once you do it's amazing

Thanks for the info, Pounder. Yes it is an HDTV, but no it doesn't have a DVI input...that would be to easy.

Anyone know if you can connect that Vga to Rgb to a normal tv. I.E Sony Vega 27" according to sony yes but before I buy the cable I want to make sure. Only reason I ask is because the s-video is giving the tv a noise issue with the screen you see scrolling staic lines, kinda like if ia microwave was on or something.
