[citation][nom]drwho1[/nom]My Plasma has been hooked up to my PC for many years now, I use it to watch videos directly from my PC or from the internet. This setup boxes are a failure in my opinion, a simple cable from your video card to one of your TV inputs is all you need.[/citation]
half-way agreed. if you have a family, though, and need to do anything interactive (you can set a video to play on tv and keep working on other screen) on both the TV and the computer simultaneously, i could see the convenience of this. personally, i'll probably go Raspberry Pi, but this is likely more user friendly at 8x the cost...so that is what most people will prefer.
