13" laptop with a 26" screen

I setup another little office in the basement and I bought a 26" Vizio for that room.

My thought was to just use it as a TV but I decided to buy a HDMI adapter for my 13" Macbook to see how the TV would look as a monitor. I got my adapter and cable yesterday and I can't tell you how happy I am with this setup.

The picture is as good as my 21" imac and even a sig pic or avatar has great detail. You should see youtube videos on this thing. :thumbup:

The other nice thing is I now have two working monitors with one keyboard and mouse. The curser will move from the laptop to the TV so now the laptop that I only used on trips in now my in house desktop. I couldn't be happier with this setup. Just thought I would share this with the gang.:doorag:

This picture is not great but you get the idea.

I used my 38" LCD in my bedroom as a computer monitor for a while... now it's just a TV....hell, not even that... I still haven't hooked up the cable in that room and I've lived there for 6 1/2 years nojoke

But it was cool as a monitor, just not pratical.
