On the back of my tv their is an input for a computer. I have never thought of doing this before, but it is quite tempting to hook the tv to the computer instead of my monitor. I just can't imagine having a monitor that huge. Has anyone ever had the desire to do this? If so have you actually done it? Wow, technology today really amazes me.

my friend I had used this technology and I know why may be was not successful in doing this but text is not very readablewhen you who came your computer to the television set. I do have a very good graphic card and I know it is not the problem of the graphic card. But still when I might computer to the television set and watch movies it comes very clear. But the text is something which gives me the creeps. I feel that it is very good when you want to watch movies or for presentations but otherwise it is not a very good idea. If I am wrong to let me know so that I can rectify and enjoy the technology also. Thanks in advance

A few years ago we had to do this when we left town for a hurricane. We had the correct video card to hook up the computer to the TV. It was a pain to configure the TV correctly for the PC. The quality of the picture was not that great either.

we have done it when we download a movie or tv show from itunes or other similar site...it works great on my newer laptop and ok from the older mac laptop...
but on both computers it totally changes the screen resolution settings...it made my computer's view so big i couldn't even see anything on my laptop display!
