    Smart TV? What's that? I'm using it with a standard Panasonic plasma.

    Come to think of it, I haven't used a TV for anything but a monitor for other devices since 1991...I'm totally out of loop for TV features, it's just a monitor for me and everything comes from various other devices. I don't think I even have the remote for it no more, a Logitech remote is all I need.

    I should have said "smart monitor". "TV" is a generic term old farts like me still use. It has a direct connection to the internet for downloading movies, etc. It has it's own digital tuner like most new monitors, and I use it for the PC. Also, you can plug a portable USB drive into it and run movies from there.

    I have converted an old PC into a media player using the following software http://xbmc.org. Originally made for the xbox but now converted to the pc. You can download a "live" version which will not touch your hard drive, you can even start a film using a web browser. This is one cool piece of software which I would recommend.
