This doesn't always work well. Sometimes it's hard to get the pixels to match up 1:1. This can make text look blurry. Also, some TV's only support more familiar PC resolutions through the VGA input, so you end up w/ a 1024x768 image stretched to fit. Some TV's won't allow you to send 1080p over the VGA either...HDCP crap.
I always try to stay in the digital domain if at all possible. +1 for DVI-HDMI.

QFT.... if your hdtv accepts HDMI a computer hooked via a dvi to hdmi will look 100x better than hooked to a vga cable.

The RADEON HD series of cards support HDMI out of the box.

Little bit of fanboyism there, eh?
Just about every modern card supports 'HDMI' via a DVI->HDMI adapter. As far as cards with an actual HDMI port on them, the best ones I can find are actually Geforce 8600GTS's. ATI has a big, bad, x1650 with one, but who cares?
The signal is the same thing. DVI with HDCP is the same darn thing as HDMI, just without the audio. If you check newegg for HDMI video cards, you'll notice that most of the results don't have a HDMI port - they say 'via adapter.'
So to sum it up, 'The Geforce 8-series support HDMI out of the box.'
Hell, just about any video card that supports HDCP over DVI supports HDMI.
