Hey I want to use this TV for my computer as monitor but I don't know what cables to use.

Screenshots of both the TV and computer

Thank you for reading and hopefully helping :)
 
Solution
You have HDMI on both the TV and the Computer, so use HDMI cable

EDITED: I did not see you had a dedicated video card. I can not tell from the photo of the video card what you have on it.
What model is your video card?

HDMI is still fine as the card has an HDMI port next to the dvi port (the dvi port can also be converted to hdmi with the aid of an adapter). Also a 1.8m cable should be long enough unless you're planning to have the computer really far from the tv.

The only other thing to note is that you may have to enter the TV's menu and switch it to "Game" mode for the input as some TVs can be quite laggy.
