www.monoprice.com sells hdmi-dvi adaptors plugs, or you can get a cable with DVI on one end and HDMI on the other. The video signals on DVI and HDMI are the same it's just a different form factor on the connector. HDMI cables also carrier audio, but DVI does not. monoprice is not local, but their prices are really good. My 40" 720p Samsung has a native resolution of 1366x768. I think most newer 1080p HDTV's have native resolutions 1920x1080. -- Timothy On 8/15/2011 8:33 AM, tom wrote: > I just purchased a Philips 19" hdtv.
