[QUOTE="fisha, post: 181103"] Sorry I disagree, your not going to [U]really[/u] going to have to get a DVI enabled TV. From my own experience ( admittedly PAL and windows xp though ) the best settings seem to actually be with the scren resolution set to 800x600 rather than 640x480. i've found that when i've needed to rely on it, a normal TV to be acceptable for use. As you say, cranking up the icon size and general font sizes, then the overall display becomes on the whole readable. No, its not super sharp, its not per-pixel mapping, but its usable. Looking at Frontrow, from what i've seen, the fonts are generally large anyway, so i dont see a problem there. It may get a bit cumbersome to use for things like email and internet use, but other than that, as long as the font sizes are set a little larger than normal, then you should be able to navigate around without too much issue.
