DVI to Sony 40V4100

[dakotagts]

I searched the topics high and low for a better understanding of DVI video output to a HD tv, but am still confused.

I have a Radeon x1900 with DVI. What is the best way to hook the video card to my TV and get the highest resolution?

this is a link to the TV for those who do not know what inputs it has

Also I have a sony receiver that has a PC audio input, is there a special cable that i need to send the audio from the Mobo sound card to the receiver for true 5.1 surround? The Motherboard is a Gigabyte G965-S3 ver1.0.

Any help would be appreciated!

Quite simple.

Get a DVI to HDMI adaptor. You can easily find one on Monoprice for a few bucks.
That goes from your video card to your TV. Voila - 1080p.

As for audio, also quite easy. Unless I'm wrong, your motherboard should have an optical out. Get an optical toslink cable and connect your motherboard to your receiver.

Doing this you should have both 1080p video and 5.1 audio.

Hope it helps.
