Thanks Matt, Yes, I am actually leaning more towards HDMI now actually. This is because some monitors I looked at and like have built in speakers. Now I just have to head out to Best Buy to check them out, then head to Amazon for a better deal. This is going to be a great day. I took my final PT test for the Army, I get to ride my bike AND hang out in the computer section of the store.
