[QUOTE="cb.studios, post: 261381"] [b]This is exactly what you need[/b] [FONT=Arial]The new HDMI is a DVI port. It's simple smaller to save space on the in's and out's of things (example: iMacs have that dvi port on the back to save on putting a full DVI plug in). If you want a crisper image you need to use your DVI wich is digital (VGA is not as crisp). Thats wierd that your manual says that. Your HDTV is nothing but a computer monitor. What you need to do...... 1. Buy the imac DVI to DVI adaptor for the back of the computer. 2. Buy a DVI cable that is the lenghth you'll need it to be to get to your HDTV. 3. Buy a DVI to HDMI adaptor for the TV. Enjoy !![/FONT] [/QUOTE]
