HDTV (TV is the moniker that you need to address here) is through the HDTV adaptor(component) or if you are using it for HDTV (not blu-ray persay). That's what the Nvidia performance setup is for - one is for TV, but I do not treat my monitor as a TV - I treat it as a monitor, so it displays the resolution that I desire. If your resolution is set for 1920x1080 - it will display this through your DVI as long as your monitor can handle it. If you tell the Nvidia setup app that its a TV it will limit what your monitor can take (i.e. 1080i). This video card was designed around Nvidia's Extreme HD which has resolutions beyond 1080p. Set your monitor as a monitor, Make sure that it has resolutions that meet or exceed 1920x1800 - (your monitor is a little wanting). If you want to do this through analog (vga) you can add AnyDVD HD (no HTPC should be without it). Just make sure that your monitors resolution meets or exceeds 1900x1080, your card already does - you can get a picture better than some high-end theaters with the right pc. I hope this helps.
Thanks!! i couldn't expect a better reply!!

I thought that setting the monitor as a HDTV was a very good idea. But now i know it wasn't.

My graphic card has two DVI outputs. And considering 1080p resolution for Blu-Ray movies if my monitor has both DVI and HDMI inputs is it a better idea to use a DVI-HDMI cable to connect the graphic card to the monitor or it won't make any difference and so i can use a DVI-DVI cable.

Too late !! you have already answered to my last question!
