Without you telling us anything about your TV, no. Does your TV have a DVI input? A 15pin VGA input? S-Video? Composite? Component? How about sound? Optical SPDIFF? Co-axial digital?
Also why do you want to surf the web with surround sound?

You can always surf the net with something like this. I have one connected to my router but prefer to use my Mac. Great piece of European technology however.

i can hook up to it with the dvi out on my mac...the tv has a dvi input....sorry
i was just thinking about using the tv as a larger screen to design (graphic/web) with...and occasional interenet surfin

Note that a physically larger screen does not mean you will have a higher resolution. Most newish HD TVs run at around 1300x700 (not exact). If you are lucky you might get a bit more.

really?
i am not aware of this. i havent tried it yet
i admit, i was looking for more real estate than my 15" powerbook
The macbook screen resolution is 1440x900. Most TVs are not higher than this. Look for 1080p tvs like the Sony SXRDs 1920x1080 resolution.albertfreestyle said:
