Sceptre X240BVFHD 24"

I'm considering buying this HDTV to swap with the Acer X233H monitor that I'm currently using on my PC, and using the monitor in the bedroom for TV reception using a HDTV converter. The question for me is whether the HDMI connection on the Sceptre would work properly using a DVI-HDMI cable between the PC and the TV? The reason that I'm asking, is because the Acer didn't. When I called Acer support, I was told that since my video card only had DVI, that I had to use a DVI to DVI cable. If I can't use the coverter cable, the only other option would be to use a VGA cable, but that requires an adapter also.

Here is the HDTV in mind:
