    Hi, I'm looking to get a Nvidia 9800 GX2 which has a HDMI connection. I was wondering if it's possible to run the HDMI to my high def TV and use that as a main monitor? Any advise would be great. Thanks in advance!

    Man I think that won't work because it would probably be consider an input instead of an output.

    what do you mean by that? A graphics card is an output only source and the TV is input only. Surely that would work... wouldn't it!?

    Hey I was talking to some of my PC Tech, that should work. Now I thought the graphic card was an input just like the HDTV. So that I was thinking that wouldn't work.
