I just bought a 4th monitor for my office pc. It is an HP 2509m. On my desk is a standard TV with a Hughes SD-DVR40 sitting on top of it. What I want to do is get rid of the TV and connect the Hughes SD-DVR40 to the HP 2509m.

1. Is there a cable available that will allow me to go from the Hughes SD-DVR40 RCA out (Red, White, Yellow) to the HDMI input on my monitor?

Is the PS3 cable a standard HDMI connection or is it proprietary?

2. Is there a cable available that will allow me to go from the Hughes SD-DVR40 RCA out (Digital Audio and Yellow [video]) to the HDMI input on my monitor?

I found this gadget on NewEgg:

Link -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-027-_-Product Premium HDTV Kit (NewEgg)

Link -> Premium HDTV Kit (cables unlimited)

The last two links are to the same item but one has better pictures and one has better information.

Question: Is using the Digital Audio even worth the bother in this case?

Question: Can I jost go buy the PS3 cable and connect the RCA cables (Red/White/Yellow) and go straight to my HDMI input?

Sorry if this is confusing - I tried to include as much information as possible.

Thank you!
