play game on a HDTV

[MarkOne]

hi I have a sharp with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 can I plug it on the hdmi or I have to use the dvi of my 5870 for play game

of course I want the best of it

should work fine with the hdmi though some Tv's sometimes require a certain hdmi input on the tv. Example, my samsung has three hdmi input but only the hdmi 1 play's the resultion is use 1360x 768. So if you have trouble running 1080(unlikely) just try another input

HDMI will work fine for 1080p (1920x1080). I have my TV running the same resolution from my computer (use it for watching movies) via HDMI.

I am on a 4890 and it works great for me too, sound and all. Even with XP.

My TV defaulted to 1080i but, when I set the refresh rate to 60 Hz, it then started outputing 1080p.

Yes it work great. It's like a big monitor. I game with my PC on my projector. Make Xbox games look like PS2 :) LOL!

... does it matter either way you connect it? Hdmi just transmits sound as well.

yup been using my hdtv for games for a long time gone from vga to dvi/hdmi know all worked just great.

Doesn't matter, i've transmitted through both, and actually depends on if you have the half or full dvi output too. I run dvi to hdmi with a proper dvi to hdmi cable that transmits both the audio and video over, but you can still do video dvi to hdmi as well
