Well...thought I would try it...had a nice long S Video cable...wireless connection and a 35" monitor TV. Was thinking I could just relax and play around.<br><br>No...the TV just can not do the job..can see video such as DVDs a-okay, however, text is rough to read.<br><br>Never tried it before...only watched DVDs and checked my PowerPoints this way.<br><br>

Well I was thinking of trying that so now I know it will go as I suspected. Time warp Biggerfoot, I just watched Rudy & Himmel and the credits are rolling.

Well I remember what the image mirroring on the TV looked like before I started the DVD movie and it was hard to read the controls. I tend to think that where the big screens lose resolution it just really is magnified on the laptops. I think it would be a little better on a smaller screen. <br><br>The wine urges me on, the bewitching wine, which sets even a wise man to singing and to laughing gently and rouses him up to dance and brings forth words <br>which were better unspoken.<br>Homer
