Years ago, I was out working a job that had me working 6-7 days a week, 13-16 hours a day. I had no TV until my brother visited and wanted to watch golf, so I went to the local Mom and Pop appliance store and bought an outrageously expensive 42" (which was huge at the time) HD television set. With the stand it sat on, it cost me close to $4000. I rarely used it other than to watch things that I had available to watch "On Demand" through the cable company and a Play Station 2 game I liked... but I did hook up my 'puter to the HDMI. THAT ROCKED!

I got extension cords for the keyboard and mouse and I could sit 12 feet away in a Laz-Z-Boy recliner and surf the web with no eye strain problems whatsoever. I loved to bring up the National Weather Service's High Resolution National Composite Radar map animation... it was like being at the airport with their public information displays! Hahaha!

Heh...we recently bought a 50” Smart TV, but wifey and I are both scared to do anything with it other than watch the Duggars or Duck people - so we haven’t even attempted to get that and this desktop PC coordinated, even though they sit 2 feet apart in our little ‘media room’.

Ya know, if you go to Wallyworld, there is a wireless keyboard with a built in mouse glide-pad for about 30 bucks... Just sayin'
