You do have to worry about your entire home entertainment system if you're using a HDMI. This is where the future is going. Digital connections of different revisions connecting your components will cause handshaking issues. I have this problem right now. My DVDs sometimes go green or pink because the TV thinks its getting RGB instead of YCbCr.

Step back from the computer and see what a mess that is too. I joke here at work when something doesn't work right. I say "See the problem here is this...you have a dell computer with a dell keyboard and mouse plugged into a dell monitor via a dell docking station....no wonder you can't print to your dell printer."
