Good idea about the VGA, but that is susceptible to general interferance too (analog). So I thought I'd go all the way with DVI, like what is common now days with flat panel monitors.
I haven't seen a DVI input on a video card, but I've seen TONS of dual heads with DVI output for the second head. It's common to see adapters for the second output (DVI) to convert it to VGA so you can hook up two traditional analog monitors. If at all possible I would like to skip over RCA/Composite, S-Video, and Component.
Thanks for the dialog. -Scott

This combined with the idea of a big TV (HDTV) has me thinking...
I have read that Windows guys are using "Powerstrip" for fine tweaking so they can output from their DVI out on their Windows box to a HDTV's DVI in. I believe this is what I want to do. I don't have to mess with any Component stuff or Macrovision/IP stuff and I get a nice clean signal.
Has anyone done this? If yes, any tips? If not, why?
if you can get your hands on a HDTV then dont waste your money on a video card with TV-Out, you dont need it!(and damn, you spend enough on the TV dude!!!) Most HDTVs have a standard VGA input (HD15 pin socket) and as long as you have a decent video card that can support widescreen formats, you then just use your HDTV as a normal pc monitor.
plus you'd lose quality (small but noticable) converting the video to analogue just for the cable to the HDTV then the HDTV would convert it back to a digital signal, keep it digital all the way :P
hope that helps,

PS: by DVI you mean "Digital Video Interface" yeh? like firewire? if so i havnt seen any TV's with a DVI input, or any Video cards with DVI outputs, ive seen camcorders with DVIs, and DVI inputs on PCs, but a DVI output? maybe by DVI you meant the Composite (rca) or S-Video (6-pin mini-din)? or im getting old and out-of-touch and they really do have Video cards with DVI outputs!
