My aged (3.5 years) Hewlit Packard laptop finally bit the dust the week before Christmas and I finally got tired of sharing a computer with Teffie.
after I sold her minivan to the wrecking yard I went to Best Buy ........ I know I am with out work at the moment but after having been used to 2 computers in the house for over 3 years I just couldn't handle it anymore.
I bought an HP desktop with an AMD proc, 4 gigs of DDR3, 1 terrabyte Hard drive, and 256 mb Nvidia ....... $509....... $9 more than I sold the Minivan for....... brought it home, hooked it up to the 32" High Def...... figured out my wireless key board isn't supported by win7 so I had to go back to Best Buy and get a new key board to go with it..... while I was there I decided my 3.5 y/o $49 logitech speakers where pretty ratty So I bought a set $69 Logitech speakers..... they came with a 5 or 6" enclosed sub woofer......
All I got to say is wow....... I have been using the TV as a monitor for a while but the raedon video card in my laptop wasn't high def.......... and wow ...... its like Blu-Ray Vs VHS.......
I got it hooked up through the HDMI port and have the speakers hooked to the headphone port on the TV...... and these little Logitech $69 Computer speakers rock ....... they are better than what was built into the TV.......
the only problem I am having with it is the text on the forums is a little hard to read from 10 feet but I am getting used to it and my eyes are adjusting....
