HDMI without question. DVI will do the same trick but does not transmit digital audio. Both comply with the 'HD Ready' specifications.

depends what you want to connect, really

if you are just running a video signal through it then they would be just as good.
HDMI would have the advantage that you could also pass the audio channels through, of course you need a system on noth sides to get the maximum out of it

the best option would depend on what you will be driving it with. hdmi should be your best bet if planning a sky box or new hd-dvd player etc etc

Thats exactly what I had in mind. Only 1 DVI input would not be of much use then or could there be some adapter available?
