HDMI

Already measured it. Though I'm moving the tv from here it is now to the far corner near my closet, will make it closer and I can run the wire the perimeter of the room, instead up the wall and across the ceiling then down the wall.

I just ordered the Rosewil cables and a new computer case this afternoon.

Now that does change things nicely!

This has nothing to do with your HDMI cable, but how are you going to handle the sound output? The HDMI output is usually video only, so there is no sound to the TV speakers. I presume you have speakers attached to your computer, but it is worth considering their placement relative to your new monitor and any changes may necessitate additional speaker cables.

Do not need sound with close caption.

Works for me anyway.

I will have to wait and see about the sound but I do have nice speakers on my computer. I actually have to keep the sound turned down here because my subwoofers disturb other household members.

Well, now I've found some more info on my video card. The HDMI is both audio (8 channel) and Video, so is my TV's HDMI. With that extra knowledge, does that still mean I have to or need to have separate audio? I wouldn't think so.

Here's my vid cards specs and overview:

And the cables say this:

For Video, 720p, 1080i, 1080p (next highest resolution)

For audio, supports up to 8 channels surround sound system

It appears you have one of the few (currently) video cards that transmits both audio and video signals via the HDMI port. Most of the cards I have recently reviewed for purchasing transmit video only and that is why I said "usually" in my original post asking the question on sound cables. Now you can consider running the HDMI through your home theater system and really annoy your neighbors.

I was hoping I wasn't one of the usual that had only video through HDMI. Glad it wasn't.

If it were only neighbors, I wouldn't have to worry, as our house is several yards (we have two city size lots) away; however, it's family that complains my sounds are too loud.

Should we show 'em the new computer desk we're designing?

Good one, Doc!!

And after a week, you will need these at least.

Good one, Doc!!

If it's too LOUD, you're too OLD!

[photolady]

Not me, Doc. The louder the better. LOL

Right?
