What inputs does your TV have on the back of it? That will answer your questions in some cases.

if it has HDMI then depending what you will be using it for it may be worth spending a few more £ and getting a newer graphaics card with DVI out and get a DVI to HDMI lead. My 5m DVI to HDMI lead was £110, the home cinema ones aren't cheap!

that would work, but I was just thinking if you've forked out the cash for a HD capable tv you may as well spend like another £30-£40 and get a graphics card that can output at the right resolution and a better quality.

DVI can output at HDMI resolution and no loss of quality either cos its all digital, so DVI is all you need really
