Best HD connection for PC ?

[Hulkster316]

Recently built a sff pc with a XFX 7800gt as the graphics card. Wanted to connect it to my HD LCD tv but was wondering what is the best method ? XFX supply a component video out adaptor but have also found a DVI - HDMI adaptor as well. The tv i hope to get has both and as i am new to the whole High Def thing was hoping on some advice on which is the best method ?
Cheers

DVI/HDMI is, as far as I know.. dont quote me on it

the HDMI would be the best, without a doubt, but if you only got one of those, no doubt you will want to keep it clear for Sky HD - so go with the component.

Nice one thanks. Ill go with the hdmi for now then.
Out of interest has anyone seen a pc running through a high def connenction ? Are there any games that take advantage and what resolution do you set the desktop at ? Cheers

mine will be running through hi-def tomorrow, just waiting on my new cable coming.

Excellent timing mate ! You will have to keep me posted with your findings.

will do, could actually hook it up just now if i moved the pc, but i cant be bothered

okay, got my stuff, my samsung tv says in the manual HD resolutions not supported while in vga mode - so basically ive wasted my money on the dsub lead - because i cant connect set it to a widescreen resolution.

Check your manual, id imagine it will probably be the same, so component will be the way to go.

Unlucky mate - Is that the Samsung LE32R41B your using ? Thats the tv im getting is it a good screen ?
Read a post on another web site that had there pc through vga and said the picture was awesome at 1360*760 ?
If i use component can i run the pc at 720p using the 7800gt cheers for your help posted on some of the av forums but think you need to pass some sort of initiation before anyone will reply
