I want to use my Panasonic LCD HDTV as a computer monitor. My computer only has a VGA input. My Panasonic LCD HDTV has these types of connectors:

2 HDMI Inputs
2 S-Video Inputs
3 Sets of A/V inputs
1 Set of 3 Composite Video inputs

I want to know which type of cable can be used to connect my LCD HDTV to my computer. You can also mention cable strategies such as :

VGA to DVI to HDMI

I also want to know if I can buy these types of cables at a store (CircuitCity, WalMart, RadioShack, etc…). Please don’t mention anything about Video Cards.

If you impress me with your answer, you’ll get 10 Points. Make sure your answers as detailed as possible.
Why do I need to buy a video card?

This is an example:

With this cable, I can connect my computer to the LCD HDTV. Are there any other cables like these buy in different formats or does anyone know where can I buy this type of cable?

    You will need an Nivedia graphics card for it to look any good.

    You will either have to upgrade your video card or buy a scan converter……..the video card would be a less expensive upgrade.
