This RCA is a CRT based RPTV, interlaced & burnable. Neither good for PC use. Their talk of 'progressive' is only for 480p or 540p, it can't produce a 720p HDTV image. TVs that produce 720p or 1080p as their native resolution are far better for PC & gamebox use.

Monster cables are uselessly overspec'd, and ridiculously overpriced. You can get good cables for a third their price.

All HD capable connections are very similar in quality. The big deal about DVI & HDMI is that they can handle copy protected signals. PCs & Gameboxes are not copy protected signals.
