It's not a TV unfortunately. Unless you want to download movies and use it to play back on the TV?

that connector set is going to be about a foot long.
Had to do something similar today. Got a new gfx card that doesn't do VGA and I've got a VGA monitor to hook up to it as a second monitor. The card itself has 1 hdmi out, 1 dvi-d out and three display ports. No. 1 is using the hdmi and I don't have a display port socket in either monitor, so given what I've got, it's going dvi-d to generic DVI then a DVI to VGA them plugging the monitor in. I've ordered a DVI to VGA connector from the eBay to get it tidied up.

DVI-D only carries the digital signal, if you want to go to VGA you need either a DVI-I output or an active digital/analogue converter to render the VGA signal from the digital one.

I did wonder why it wasn't working with the current setup! The display port adaptor I've ordered'll sort it all out.

I do blu-ray.
I still haven't jumped into the streaming bandwagon.
That said I've not yet caught up on all the Marvel films, there's at least half that I've not watched. Weighing up the cost of those on disc Vs what it'd cost to get a streaming subscription for a few months and it's a no brainer.
