I am planning to buy an HDTV and use my computer to run XBMC. How do you connect your computer to the TV to get 1080p HD?

HTPC --hdmi--> Denon Receiver --hdmi--> FullHD TV

Your pc has HDMI out?!

I use an HDMI output straight to the tv. I believe there are several graphics cards that have a HDMI out. I'm not sure what the cost of these are. I do know Acer has a PC that does a great job for under $500. I use three of these at my house and haven't had any problems. HD streams to it without any stuttering.

Yes! I use a Zotac ION ITX A board.

Not trying to sound too provokative.... but just use a HDMI cable? =)

I just got my Zotac ION-ITX-B up and running yestarday and it runs out of the box with SONY and Samsung TV's in 1080P.

Even the bios setup is reachable through the HDMI cable (not in 1080P ofc) =)
So no special drivers or bootup actication needed.

The mac is connected to the tv with HDMI, however optical out into the reciever for audio.

I use a Gigabyte graphics card with nvidia 7200 Gs chipset output to tv using DVI to Hdmi
Works very well for £45 and have no trouble using Aeon Auriga with it

Wow, I need to upgrade my computer. All it has is VGA. Things sure have changed.

DVI works great, too.
