"is there a way I can use my TV as a moniter?"


          

My new Mini Mac would look KICK ASS w/ my TV. If there is such a cord, what's it called & where may I buy it!?!!?!

on the 10 of January there is supposed to be a newer faster mac mini...
with DVR capablities...that means TV out....hopefully
just a rumor but ya never know...

back on topic...

i've never seen a cord that goes from DVI/VGA to Coaxial/Composite Video...
i'll look around...i might need this when the mini is relegated to the living room after the intel invasion...

While the movie looks awesome--when I'm browsing my iTunes or Documents or Desktop in general, it's fuzzy, the dimensions are warped and all around just bad in quality.
