    DVI. I use a DVI to HDMI cable.

    I was actually asking Mish...but ya that would be the best route. If your computer doesn't have DVI get a card that does.

    Yeah. You will see a huuuuge difference. It's worth it. Just don't get your cable from Best Buy. I don't know how it is in Australia, but in the US Best Buy sells 10 dollar cables at an 800% mark-up.

    Agreed...don't buy anything from Best Buy, everything is overpriced there. And half the employees don't know jack shit about anything.

    When it comes to DVI and HDMI cables get the cheapest ones. They're digital and quality isn't going to make a difference in picture like it would with an analog signal.

    Thanks everyone, your comments had been of a great help

    I'd also like to recommend newegg.com

    Great prices, great customer service, and they've also got customer reviews for most their products.

    I'm so lucky. I bargained a bit with the guy at the store and got a 1080 one for the same price!! They were out of stock at the time, but they are getting one in I should have it by weekend. All reviews I read were great for this one. I'm really happy!

    That's what I ended up getting

    I got it!!!

    Man, it's so freaking awesome. I didn't realize how many free hdtv channels there are since all I had was analogue before. Apart from two extra channels for all major channels here we have all kinds of sports, government, community and geography channels as well. Even something bizarre called ACC (Australian Christian Channel) which mostly broadcasts funny Religious programming from US.

    The quality is awesome! I watched an episode of Sopranos on it yesterday and I think I need to re-watch all of them again.
