So, I have a 50" LED TV downstairs in the living room. I have movies on my PC that I want to watch on that TV. I want to transfer the file to something and play it on the TV.
The TV has video playback, but very limited to jsut one type of file. I don't wan to keep converting movies to that type to watch movies. I don't want to stream, either, because I want to keep this PC freed up.
I'm thinking of building a very small, VERY cheap PC with windows 7, that I can plug into the HDMI input..
Or how about a laptop that has HDMI out? Does that work?
What are my choices here?
