HDMI or VGA to HDTV? 4850..

[DansFace]

Right now i'm using a VGA connector to hook up to my roommates samsung 1080p TV. Would there be any improvements if i used the DVI to HDMI adapter?

VGA refers to the traditional analog connection to a monitor in contrast to DVI, which is digital.
Therefore DVI or HDMI is better solution. Some off the later model TVs ( LCD, Plasma) can have a use for the Dual Link DVI-I connection for most single link DVI-I should be OK.
The latest HDMI 1.3 has about same bandwidth as the Dual DVI the main difference is that the HDMI also carries the audio.
Many off the big stores are selling the Monster Cables, don't buy them it's complete ripoff, you can Google it.
You can get very good cables from MonoPrice (http://www.monoprice.com/home/index.asp) at LEAST 10 times cheaper.
