This might be covered before but I searched for a while with no luck and I need to know ASAP.

Im building a simulator with eyefinity card and 3 47" LG LED TVs.
What connections do I need exactly?
1 TV is going to connect with HDMI

1 TV should connect to displayport with an active displayport dongle? is this what I need?

and what cable do I need from the TV to this dongle? HDMI to DVI cable connected to this dongle?

and what about the 3rd TV?

Im abit confused. I would appreciate your help. Please be very specific.

:welcome
You will need 1 active adaptor like the one you linked to, although you can get displayport to hdmi if your tv only supports hdmi and not dvi.
You could also use dvi>hdmi adaptors.

What ati card do you have?

Im getting the 6950 or 6970

Whats the difference between this:
http://www.accellcables.com/products/DisplayPort/DP/dp_dvi_sl_active.html

and this:
http://www.accellcables.com/products/DisplayPort/DP/dp_dvid.html

Which one should I get?

Can I connect 2 TVs to my card with HDMI to DVI cables, and 1 TV with also an HDMI to DVI cable with the above adapter?

2 of these... (using the same site you linked to)
DVI -> mini ACTIVE displayport dongle
http://www.accellcables.com/products/DisplayPort/DP/mdp_dvi_sl_active.htm
And then get three DVI-HDMI cables (they are pin compatible), or you can use the HDMI port on the 69x0 to hook up to the 3rd TV.

Make 100% sure that whatever you get is ACTIVE!
