I thinking about purchasing a Sony KDL-26U2000 LCD TV and use my MacBook as a DVD player and as a extra display for it. I will be using a monster THX Ultra 800 HDMI to DVI Video Cable to connect the two! Does any one have any experience of using any TVs of this size as a computer display?
My other option is to purchase a Apple 23" monitor. This would be slightly more than the Sony option and i would not be able to watch TV with out the laptop!
