[technical question] new monitor

yes I'm a tech noob when it comes to this kinda thing

I have a 6 year old monitor and it has a VGA input for my computer. a couple of years ago (2-3) I bought a new video card and it has dual DVI and a HDMI input.
for a long time I have had no problem but for the past few months, I have had an issue with the input getting at an angle (its a VGA/DVI adapter ive been using) which causes my screen to go pink (have a pink filter type thing).
Today I bought a new monitor and it has an HDMI input for my computer..
can I plug in the HDMI port into my computer and it will take the video input right away or do I need to set something up first and then plug it in?

seriously, if you dont know anything about this, dont bother replying..

Plug monitor into power outlet. Plug HDMI cable into monitor and PC. Turn on the PC. Done.

If in the event your old screen pops up and not the new screen, just press WinKey+P to cycle through monitor combinations.

You can just plug it in, should have no problems (maybe resolution change), been there, done that.

works now... just needed to buy DVI to HDMI adapter because the HDMI input wasnt long anough to go into the thing... a brace that is part of my tower is in the way and I didnt feel like cutting it or the cable itself to fit...
