[QUOTE="Andre, post: 713768, member: 55311"] It's cooler than you might think :) On other computers (read, Windows), it is, in my opinion, ridiculously difficult to set up an external display, including just watching a movie on your TV. With a Mac, plug it in and you're done. It is an amazing feat of goodness that I never get tired of :) Also note that you can change "where" the extra display is. You want your desktop to extend to the right (which is the default), no problem. If you sit on your couch, with your MacBook on your lap, and want the display to "continue up" onto the TV, you can do that as well. In that arrangement tab, simply move the external display to the top. Pure excellence, I must say :) [/QUOTE]
