Hi,
You can also connect a graphics card with DVI to an HDMI monitor with a simple adaptor you should be able to pick up for about a tenner at somewhere like Richer Sounds.
Cheers,
Paul.

Why not try a HD TV.
Most have HDMI inputs, you can then just change your graphics card in
the PC to one with HDMI output.
Note, the longer you wait, the cheaper HD TVs become.
But, do remember that PC LCD displays have higher resolutions than HD
TVs, so if you are doing close up work with a PC, using a standard PC
LCD display is better than using a combined PC/TV screen.
I would do the following:
1) Get a normal PC LCD display.
2) Keep your current graphics card.
3) Get a PC tuner card for your PC. This effectively turns a computer into a TV.
