    You're a gentleman and a scholar!

    Cheers!
    The atmosphere is currently filled with hypocrisy so thick that it could be sliced, wrapped, and sold in supermarkets for a decent price and labeled, 'Wholegrain Left-Wing, Middle-Class, Politically-Correct Organic Hypocrisy'.

    IMO opinion I would forget using VGA for anything other than showing a few photo's and such.

    If an LCD TV is going to be used it really MUST be HDMI or the resolution will be so poor, you can hardly read the text on screen.

    It would have to be a very good TV to work properly (1080)

    I really do feel the need to correct this, I sorted a nice 19" LG TV with VGA/HDMI input. the actual screen is 1440x900 (16:10) which for the screen size is fine for computer use, also he is currently using a VGA cable running at 1440x900 and the computer image is crystal clear.

    I think size is the biggest factor here as most bigger LCD TVs have a resolution of 1360x768 which is a bit lower but useable yet many smaller screens are fine for computer use.

    In short an HDMI connection is preferred but isn't a must.
