You are right with the lack of DVI inputs on flat panel TVs/Monitors. The reason from what I can tell is that most are moving right along to HDMI for flat panel TVs but you can still find quite a lot of projectors that still use DVI. I have an Optoma projector that uses a DVI input but I use the VGA to Component converter. If you want to use a new flat panel TV I believe you can get a DVI to HDMI converter and that should work fine. You will need to run a separate audio source but I doubt this is going to be a big deal anyway. Just make sure the converter you get allows for PC connection because not all do.
