did you guys fail reading comprehension or what?

if you are asking if its better than using component, yes because component signal is analog, and your TV is digital - so if you use component, the signal has to be converted to analog first by your display card, then back to digital in your TV so it can display the picture. This may or may not produces artifacts, but it is always better not to mess with converting signals between digital and analog domains.

By all means, use the DVI-HDMI cable, or an adapter

there is no difference between using a HDMI straight or HDMI-DVI - they are compatible digital video transports.

compared to buying a new LCD altogether? no idea... is the new LCD going to have a better video processor than your comp video card? is the new LCD better than the current LCD?

you are asking if you should spend US$9 compared to RM 2500 or whatever a full HD LCD costs nowadays?

I think the question is - do you want a new LCD?

if you tried it and it works great, and you don't want a new LCD what is the problem?

yes
