Which cables to get

[Gusty987]

Trying to hook my computer up to my HDTV. Best way to do this is with VGA cable right? At monoprice they have SVGA cables for a good price, is this the same thing? What's different about the cables that say "for in-wall installation"?

I had just asked the same question about a week ago. I ended up buying that very "for in the wall installation" cable and today have been trying to get a good setup. The SGVA cable at 35 feet for me displays fine and image quality looks ok, not as good as it did when I had it connected via hdmi but my tv has only 1 hdmi and I didnt want the extra expense of the switcher so I went with vga since it was available on the TV. Everything looks fine and display fine. I have read that in most cases VGA will be easier to setup since overscan issues crop up with DVI-hdmi.

actually best way is dvi, hdmi or component. Assuming your tv has one of those inputs.
