HDMI is the highest-quality signal from what I understand, but it's also the interlink to DRM, but I won't get into what I consider the world of presumed guilt and policeware. So, the remaining question is, can a DVI output be adapted to an HDMI input?? Are the signals compatible with only a pin change? Really like the Sharp and would like to be able to use it to display digital pix from a linux media center as well as for viewing TV and movies. It does have comp- and s- video inputs so it's certain something can get set up, really the question is whether the full capability can be utilized
[Edit] - Looks possible:

Btw - here are the specs on the Sharp:
