If you plan on watching Blu-ray, get the HDMI. The copy protection
won't allow you to play through VGA without cracks.

I assumed from your original post you were watching streaming videos
over the internet thus I was talking about wireless vs wired connections
to your router. If this is not the case, disregard my earlier comment.

I assumed from your original post that you were watching streaming
videos from the internet thus the wired / wireless connection to your
router. If this is not the case, disregard my previous statement.
Sorry about the possible confusion.
