My LCD has both DVI and HDMI. Which should I use for connecting my computer?

AFAIK They are the same, apart from HDMI has audio whereas DVI doesn't. You're connecting a computer so your audio will use different cable(s) to the video anyway, so I'd go with DVI. Also it's unlikely that your graphics card has a HDMI out, so you'd have to buy a converter to use it.
