I drive my Samsung using a VGA cable and a miniDVI to VGA adaptor. The TV is driven at it's native res of 1366 x 768 and I use a separate audio cable to my sounds system. It's a little messy but I don't use it often (Just for watching Heroes with VLC at the mo).

However, I do plan on getting a dedicated media computer, probably a Mac Mini, but I might also make my own linux based system. I would like to use a better permanent solution.

It seems that most DVI + Audio to HDMI converters seem to be external boxes, and I would rarther stick with 2 cables than have another box and another power brick!

Also, does HDMI drive the TV at it's native res (like vga) or does it convert the signal to a HD res (720p for example)?
