Answer 1

Actually, your nvidia 6600 does matter because it should provide a DVI port for video output.

To obtain the best picture quality, you should use the DVI output by using either a standard DVI cable if your TV has a DVI port.  Otherwise, you can get a DVI-to-HDMI cable that will connect the DVI port of your computer to an HDMI port of your TV.

Using a VGA or s-video cable will degrade the picture quality.

BUY YOUR CABLE FROM EBAY, AMAZON, etc!  Otherwise, you'll get ripped off buying it at a retail store.

Answer 2

You have two options:

Use the PC input to connect it with a VGA cable, or use the DVI out on your video card to connect to an HDMI port on the TV (get a DVI to HDMI cable)

Answer 3

You're video card has DVI-out, so just connect a DVI cable from your video card to the DVI-in port on your LCD TV.
