Hi Folks, Once again picking the brains of the hardware-savvy amongst you!
A friend of mine has asked me about what to get for a flat-screen which can double as TV and computer display screen.
If the computers have DVI or HDMI output then any new TV with HDMI input will be a good start. I strongly recommend taking the laptop to a TV store to try them out before buying one because some TV's do funny things to the picture which you wouldn't expect from a digital connection (e.g. crop and stretch).
I imagine all the computers have VGA sockets, but that tends to be a premium option on TVs. Still worth a try.
I have never been able to get S-video from a laptop work with a TV, so again try before you buy.
Good luck, Tim.
