Viewer Question: What cable to use to hook up HTPC to HDTV?

Our Viewer Question is from Mark of City of Industry, CA:
I just built a HTPC with a core 2 duo 2.66 GHz, PQI 2 GB of RAM and a Nvidia EVGA 8800gts. I have a Sony Bravia KDL32M3000. Anyhow, I would love to hook up my HTPC to the T.V. What kinda cable would I need to do this? I am also getting a Blu-Ray dvd drive for my pc. Will my specs play high def dvds at full frame without any lag?
Mark, Jason Cross has got you covered. Your specs are good to handle Blu-Ray. As for the cable, get a DVI to HDMI cable or a DVI to HDMI adapter. However, you will need seperate cables for audio.

@BL00DYPaladin

I know this sounds obvious and I'm not ebing patronising, but have you changed the 'input' on your TV to the HDMI signal?

[BL00DYPaladin]

Im using a HDMI cabel when im trying to hook up my computer to my tv, but it just says "no signal" on the tv. Help please.

I learned that youtube doesn't provide live sports, tv episodes and movies stream however stream episodes [dot] net truly does. I quite suggest you people especially #VIDEOPOSTERID# to go check it out!

@jon204 right..... the last time i opened my case... my GPU still was the output not the cpu....

[jenateel]

OK, I have a Dell XPS M1130 and a new Sharp Aquos 42" LCD. I tried the HDMI hookup and nothing appeared. What am I doing wrong?

[jon204]

some cpu have the hdmi out put so no need for dvi-hdmi and hdmi does both sound and video
