Re: Typically

There's definitely the possibility that receiver may degrade the video signal and/or do odd things. I would definitely connect all the video sources to the monitor directly for video, DVI or HDMI. Then connect toslink/coax digital audio from source to receiver.

There may be receivers in future that have multiple DVI/HDMI inputs and can act as "switcher" and do it well, but I haven't seen one yet. The new Panny XR70 was supposed to have that ability, but I see that it only has one HDMI input.

I have a 60" Sony GWIII(DVI only), Zenith DVB318(DVI), and DISH 811(DVI), so HDMI wouldn't be good for me.

But if you are buying gear now, then I don't see why you Shouldn't get everything with HDMI.
