    Hey everyone,

    I'm purchasing a T.V for myself this Christmas and I have been looking for awhile now and I seem to be getting bogged down now with the different brands and specs.

    What I am looking for:

    A T.V so I can hook up my mac book pro so I can use a wireless keyboard and mouse to browse the net, get soarview and watch BR films.

    Budget: €400
    Size: 32"

    What do you think? Thanks for any help.
    Will.

    Hey there
    Where to start?
    Is TV to be used as a monitor? If yes but TV sits on stand in the corner then you will need to physically connect your macbook. So there's a possible physical constraint there.
    Your macbook as far as I know does not have HDMI so will need some sort of adapter for your video output - you also need to consider audio - a VGA cable for example does not carry audio.

    Not quite the full browsing experience but you might want to consider Apple TV (movie rental/purchase, youtube, fliker amongst the services offered).

    Or go the SmartTV (Samsungs range from 5 series up I believe) - again packaged internet so browsing per se not quite there.
