Hi lads,

I'm wondering what cable connector(s) I should use in order to get the clearest picture on my 37" LCD-TV.
Right now I'm using S-Video (both output and input), which causes a major loss of quality. I tried using the S-Video output on my computer and connect it through a SCART-adapter, but the result was just as painful to watch. Besides the S-Video input, my TV has two HDMI-inputs and two SCART-inputs. My computer has a VGA-output, and I'm guessing this will give the best result combined with an HDMI-adapter, but I'm curious whether or not these will work together, as VGA transmits analogue signals, as opposed to the digital signals of HDMI.

Any thoughts on what cable connector(s) I should choose? And are there any problems related to the connection of LCD-TVs and computers (I've for instance heard, that you shall not use plasmas to display computer-signals)?

Any help will be greatly appreciated :)
