Semi-OT: DVI-to-HDMI cables

[Giles Orr]

I'm considering buying a 1080p LCD TV and perhaps this isn't OT at all
because I have every intention of using it as a monitor with Linux as
well as for movies.  A friend has an older Sceptre 37" and we had very
little trouble getting it set up at 1920x1080 with Linux - but it has
a VGA in.  A few of the current batch of LCD TVs come with VGA ins,
and I think I've seen one or two with DVI ins, but pretty much all of
the ones I'm looking at come with HDMI ins.  So if I don't get DVI/VGA
in, and I buy one of those ludicrously expensive DVI-to-HDMI cables
(currently about $75 each), would it allow me to run the LCD TV as a
monitor at a full 1920x1080 resolution?  I have a video card that will
support this.
