What can I do with PC connected to a TV?
I recently purchased a Dell LCD TV (it's fabulous). It has superb PC
connectivity (VGA, DVI, PC audio in etc.) so I connected a PC to it. So I now have a beautiful 37" PC monitor. But I was wondering what else I could do with my setup? My PC has a TV tuner and DVD player/writer installed so I know that I can watch TV and play DVDs - but what else can I do? For example, does anyone know of good software that I can purchase to take advantage of setup? Cheers. |

I suppose you could get Windows Media Center or a similar 3rd party GUI for multimedia, though entirely unnecessary if you don't sit really far back (which may be more comfortable, but also negates the benefit of a larger screen). |

Use it as an ornament: put a nice background on and you 'll have the coolest pic frame on the block... or put a PP Presentation in a loop... |

Have you been able to connect both your monitor and TV up at the same time so you have a huge desktop, you might need a new video card. Cheers. |

I would think you could go for P-I-P watch football on the small pic while playing Prey on the big pic. |

Get a remote control hookup, and use it as a TV and everything. A Wireless keyboard and mouse would be great too. I'd put linux on the thing and setup a bunch of great things. poly-p man Simply put: you can do everythingconnected to a TV as you can normally, but huge |
