Has anyone hooked their Mac up to their big-screen LCD TV? - stephen - 12-01-2007
I'm running two 19" Samsungs right now, but I see the Sceptre 32" TV across the room, beckoning me.
I wonder what the quality would be like.
Of course, then I'd go buy a 42" LCD. ; )

It's not something I'd want to word process on, but I've got a philips HD hooked up to a macmini for video playback.

I'm connected to a 1920x1080 Westinghouse 37". Works great.

Sounds fun but is resolution from web any good?

Whatever you do, don't try it.

I've connected my MacBook to the VGA port on my RPTV. Works like a champ.

I've done the same. My Westinghouse has a DVI port. I haven't seen a lot of reports on success/failure with 1080p TV's that only have HDMI ports (I've read 720p TV's with only HDMI ports don't work so well). Any computer I've hooked up to the VGA port on my Westinghouse looks pretty awful, but I've never spent any time trying to adjust that, since it's always a temporary set up for me anyway.

I use a westy HD tv for a monitor 24/7.

Ditto for the 37" Westy, connected via DVI to my Mac mini media center. Loads of fun.

37" Westinghouse here also.
Best $400 I've spent in awhile!
