Hi Karoliina, I'm not up to par with TV technology, since I only really watch DVDs on my own TV and entertainment center. I will be using my new computer for that purpose as well as gaming and music. At present I only watch TV shows (not movies as much) on the computer.
So that DVI, HDMI, HD-etc. stuff - I have to get more familiar with all of it. Though, I will most likely be more particular with that when I buy my next TV, rather than with building the computer. Thank you for the input.
