Smile Help please! Trying to get HD through my Philips HD LCD TV

Hi guys, sorry if this has been covered before but I was just wondering if someone could help me. I just received my Xbox 360 Premium and I'm going to try and attempt to get it working in HD format on my Screen. I have the Philips 26PF4310 Display:

Basically it doesn't have any component inputs and only a single DVI input with no VGA, I was wondering whether it would be possible to use one of these:

with the component HD cable that came with premium package and then plug that into the DVI port in my LCD TV? If not would i therefore need to purchase a VGA HD lead and a DVI-I to VGA converter? If both of these solutions are viable which one is likely to give me the best display on my screen? Many thanks in advance!

I use a VGA to DVI convertor and used a VGA cable. Works a treat.
