I got a nice 32 inch HD LCD TV for the holidays and connected it to my PC through the VGA connection but I was wondering if this is the best connection to use. My video card is this one: http://www.leadtek.com/3d_graphic/winfast_px6600_gttdh_1.html
It says it supports up to a resolution of 2048 X 1536 with the HD cable included but should I use it or stick with the VGA connection? I've never connected a display through the round TV port before and am not sure. Thanks.

VGA is a good way to go.

Beyond that, going DVI or DVI to HDMI might be slightly better, but if everything is working fine with VGA and you're feeding the panel its native res, then you might want to just stick with that.

You can connect your video card to your TV in two ways, via VGA or DVI-HDMI.
If you can get 1366x768 or 1360x768 or 1280x720 from your VGA connection without over-scanning then don't bother with DVI-HDMI.
Otherwise give DVI-HDMI a try and see if you can get 1280x720 without overscanning.
Oh btw never bother with svideo or component video connection coz they look terrible.

The native resolution of my tv is 1366 X 768 and I have 1360 X 768 going on it now with the vga connection so I guess this set up well. Thanks for the info.
