Media PC Connection to Monitor

I am planning on converting my desktop computer to a media PC. I have an ATI 9600 All-in-Wonder Pro - approximately 3 years old. The outputs are S-Video and 2 VGA outputs. I am planning on purchasing a TV/Monitor to use with the PC. At this point, I am attracted to the DLP TV's for the low price for large size - looking at 60"+. I definitely want 1080p. My question is 1) How will the output signal from the VGA connection look on the TV and should I consider getting a new video card because this one is outdated and doesnt have a HDMI output? 2) What are some of the best TV's for this application - I plan on watching HDTV on it from over the air signals, streaming movies from the media PC, and using it to browse the net from the PC.

Thanks!

If your spending the big bucks on a large tv, spend the extra bucks for a HDMI video card.
Something like this should cover possible tv input needs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102057
or this(cheaper): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102484
