I am looking at HD Plasma TVs. I also have a windows media PC with a DVI and VGA output that I need to connect to the TV. Problem is that only a few plasmas have a VGA input. How well does HDMI work with the DVI outputs on PCs? Is a VGA input really necessary?

    What it really boils down to are standards.

    VGA is a simple analog RGB connection that transmits video only.

    DVI actually comes in three different flavors, digial, analog, and digital/analog. In some instances, a DVI output on a computer can be connected to a HDMI input on a screen, however this is not guarenteed.

    To answer your question: Yes, DVI can work with HDMI. No, a VGA input is not really necessary.
