    Hi,

    Sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask this - (if so Mod please move, thanks).

    I am looking to hook up a PC to a Bravia 1080p TV.

    The PC has dual video cards, each card has S-video and 2 DVI outputs.

    The TV has S-video and 3x HDMI and also a VGA connector.

    Does anyone know which is the best way to do this ?

    1)
    A DVI-HDMI dongle on the PC in order to use a HDMI -> HDMI cable ?

    2)
    S-video cable

    3) DVI-VGA dongle on PC to go VGA PC to VGA TV ?

    Does anyone with experience of this kind of use know which is the best option ?

    I am looking to get rid of the current monitor so the only way the PC would be used is through the TV but the main function of the TV would be to watch DVD's (through the PC) and regular TV.

    With ocassional PC gaming and general PC application work.
    (The PC has a surround sound system so I would only need TV audio from TV signal).

    =================

    TV connections =

    Connector Type: 1 x digital audio output (optical) ( TOS Link ) ¦ 3 x HDMI ( 19 pin HDMI Type A ) ¦ 1 x VGA input ( 15 PIN HD D-Sub (HD-15) ) ¦ 1 x component video input ( RCA phono x 3 ) ¦ 1 x composite video/audio input ( RCA phono x 3 ) ¦ 1 x headphones ( mini-phone stereo 3.5 mm ) ¦ 1 x audio line-out ( RCA phono x 2 ) ¦ 2 x SCART ( 21 PIN SCART )

    PC = 2x 880GTX in SLI

    Thanks

    DVI is the best quality connection of the 3. use a DVI to HDMI adapter.
