Oh hey, got something else and want your opinion. I found that my laptop and tv (40some inch, I think, well, just plain big) both have an s-video input/output. I got an s-video cable (wow, pretty expensive for a cable) and hooked them up. I have a HUGE monitor now!
I was wondering if there is any drawbacks to using my tv as a monitor.... long term problems with the tv losing picture maybe? Or maybe the tv having too few colors to display things properly? Let me know, but for now, I think it's slicker than S##t!
