    Would even be better if your LCD had HDMI input but the one you linked is the one you need indeed :).

    You're lucky DVI is cheaper than VGA. I had to pay 15$ for mine.

    I just ordered a DVI to HDMI adapter from ebay. Like 1 buck. Leave that on the back of the monitor permanently. Then just HDMI it. Done

    Displayport is better for computer monitors than HDMI is, it has support for more and higher resolutions.
