I guess he can't afford a HDMI-DVI cable?

I have Slingbox and get streaming TV on my PDA.

And I am typing this on my 7” Netbook, which has a fantastic display. Said Netbook also gets my Slingbox TV using either my PDA as a tethered modem or just through the Internet (WiFi or wireful).

My home TV OTOH is still a tube LOL...

Just installed this Samsung 58" B850 Plasma

And this RTI controller will take over the functions of seven OEM remotes. Yamaha 1609 A/V for the sound, Jamo C603 surround sound with massive subwoofer, Samsung BlueRay with WiFi for streaming Netflix movies, APC power conditioner, PS3 integrated as well. The lower set is a Vizio 42 for viewing secondary media. RTI programming will allow control of dual video feeds, switch the primary feed to the lower TV and vice versa...

Now if they could only invent a TV that removes the ever-present netword ID’s they display and the super-annoying animated advertisements at the bottom half of the screen that they play during a show.

My guess is, when really huge screens become economical, we’ll see a resurgence in theaters, including drive-in theaters. Distribution of movies will be entirely digital and direct from the studio (no distribution middle-people, apologies to friends of mine who are in that business). Movies are already color-matched and edited digitally, and it’s only a matter of time before they are shot entirely digitally. Digital distribution and digital reproduction on screen are not that far off. Glad the Loeks people didn’t demolish Studio 28 in Wyoming MI...
