Years ago, hoping to get the biggest-screen experience possible, I hooked up a giant, flat-screen TV to my Mac.
It was horrible.
Although the screen was enormous, it didn’t have the resolution to display Mac OS X properly. Everything was fuzzy and unfocused.
It hurt my eyes to look at it.
But these days, modern TVs offer much-higher resolution. And, as today’s featured setup shows, they are better-suited to acting as monitors. Resolution is still an issue, but If you want a giant screen, get a TV.

Pity poor Ron Wayne, the third Apple co-founder, who might have been one of the richest people on the planet if only he’d held onto his Apple shares.
