I got an 8800GTS, so uh lets say I also have a HD LCD TV which I don't btw, but if I did what would I need to use said tv as a computer monitor. The only outputs I see on my graphics card are dvi and s-video

Most HDTV's have VGA (you can get a DVI to VGA adapter for like $3), and that will work out great. Some have DVI, but its pretty rare on HDTV's. Dont use S-video, its only SD.

Some HDTVs also have S-Video.

S-Video for a computer screen isn't worth doing.

I got the HDTV to plug into PC, but the HDTV doesn't sense it!

All I can say is, if you do get a hdtv working as your monitor, its worth the trouble. My friend hooked up something ridiculous like a 50 inch plasma screen HDTV to his pc, xbox360 and other consoles. It is AWESOME.
Makes me ashamed of this 17 inch piece of crap I have here.

I've got my computer hooked up to my Sony XBR via my 8800GTS...

The writing is a little small in windows when the resolution is cranked up but its great for playing games. My TV has a input for TV which is far superior kwality to the S Video.

My HTPC is hooked upto my Sony X3500 40", and it is just stunning for playing PC games. I play all my PC games at 1900x1080...all except Crysis! You can only push an 8800GT 512MB so far lol.

I have an Xbox 360 wireless controller for the PC, and use it to play all non FPS multi-platform games. It's the only reason I have not invested in a PS3/360 yet. But with GTA 4 & MGS 4 on the horizon, I will be forced to pick one up if I want to play them within the next 5 years lmao.

HDTV's will have HDMI (1 as standard, 2 is common and 3 is just if you are flashy), Most have DVI, VGA and S-Video connections (mine has but other may not be so lucky)

You can buy HDMI to DVI cables (one end has a HDMI connector and the other end has DVI connector, again this is what I have and the quality is superb, then again I also have a HD 3850 graphics card that allows me to use my HDTV resolution for my desktop 1280 x 720 I think)

You can also buy adapters such as VGA to DVI, DVI to HDMI, HDMI to DVI and so on. Currently I have HDMI to HDMI for my PS3 and HDMI to DVI for my PC

HDMI and DVI would be the best options IMO, and pretty much as fact. If it is an option, use one of those.

Like Shadowj, I have my PS3 hooked up to my HDTV. I use my PS3 browser to get on the internet, since my old computer (at my mom's, I'm at my dad's now) is utter crap.
