i have a new 32" lcd and my main computer both in my bedroom. i have some movies on my external hard drive that i want to watch on my LCD and someone told me in order to watch the picture from your monitor on your LCD, youre going to need an RGB cable. but when i checked online, there were a lot of different kinds of RGB cables.

can anyone tell me what i would need?
i was looking for this cable on www.monoprice.com forever and cant get a general idea

 

you mean you want to connect the lcd to your computer as a second monitor?

 

^yea i guess. im not planning on using it as a monitor. just watch the movies i have on my computer's hard drive and use my new LCD TV to watch it on

that should do it

 

thanks

 

if u want a high quality picture, get a DVI. What type of LCD do you have?

 

i dont know what DVI is.
i have this TV.

going by the description from the link, it says that my LCD does not have DVI.
judging by the specifications of my TV, what would provide me with the best quality picture from my computer to my LCD?

 

Monster Cable HDMI Cable (HDMI400-2M)

that should do with a rgb convertor to DVI.. That is what i have on my setup on Sony Bravia 28"

 

^i would prefer not to use HDMI since my 1 HDMI port is going to be used for my future ps3 that i plan on purchasing soon

any other suggestions or should i go with the cable that "whynot" said?

 

reading the specs that circuitcity has for this tv I can't even say for sure if it has a VGA port...

 

I never understood this logic, especially as it takes all of 10 seconds to swap out the HDMI plug.

 

or a HDMI switcher... not much of a hassle
