    Some basic doubts...

    I've connected my laptop to my Phillips LCD using S-Video and i didn't like the quality.
    What's the best option?
    DVI-HDMI cable + sound cable
    DVI to HDMI adapter + HDMI cable (more expensive, but no need for cable sound?)
    Other quality options?
    Code: 
    F3JP : DVI, VGA, S-Video
Philips LCD : 2x HDMI, Component Video, Scart, S-Video
    Is there a big difference between Philips DVI-HDMI (2m) and a cheap brand (also 2m)? Philips cable is more expensive (10 euros).

    My LCD has this specs:
    Resolution : 1366x768p
    Resolution supported (max) : 1024x768 (computer)
    Resolution supported (max) : 1920x1080i (video)

    When i used S-Video, not only i had bad quality, but also i couldn't get full screen.
    Using a better cable (DVI-HDMI), will i get full screen?
    I know i'm connecting from a laptop (computer) so i couldn't expect more than the specs above, but i'm not connecting to a PC connector on my LCD because there's none...

    Thanks
