I only threw that in there as it is an option when a tv does not have a vga input but does have S. The OP did not say he was concerned with having all HD from the PC, only that he wanted to hook a PC up to an HDTV.

He needs to clarify. Anyway, the video card I pointed to and many others would be an inexpensive way to have it all for $50.
