Cabling choices

However, if the television does not accept HDMI, then the following options can be considered: DVI cables
A DVI (Digital Visual Interface) cable allows you to receive the best digital picture when using an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) flat panel, TV or digital projector. Transmitting DVI over Cat 5 cables is also possible. VGA cables
