MacBook and LCD TV with HDMI/DVI Connections?

    I've been looking around for a while for a decent LCD TV to hook up to my MacBook. I came across this one and then saw it was HDMI so decided I needed this as well.

    I notice that the S-Video website says that DVI does not carry audio so am I correct in saying that no matter what LCD TV I buy, the MacBook will not carry audio and images through one cable (ie: the 'DVI out'). In other words I will always need two cables, a second one for the headphone socket to carry audio into the TV set?

    Is this the only way to carry audio out. Are there any disadvantages to this (distortion etc)?

    Yes. You will need to use a separate audio cable. This can either be a standard 3.5mm analogue audio cable, or a spidif (SPDF?) fibre cable.
