I did also get a low end NEC screen for my laptop which works pretty well and is a nice size though relatively small compared to most. and I watch my shows (I'm watching Suits right now as we speak almost). Turning on the TV is a concept which eludes most of us over 50 guys the kids just look at us and laugh with the exception of a few of us here. Me I've not made a concerted effort but I'm not totally sure what an appleTV is and what the other options might be and how I'm going to maybe hook up normal cable TV to my options here. So I'm grateful for the thread off topic as it may be. On 4/13/14 1:23 PM, "Richard S.
