Not sure what I am going to upgrade to yet ( hopefully macpro ) but wondering if any new mac can use an LCD TV as a monitor? Need to upgrade my tv in the bedroom so will kill 2 birds with one stone and put the new mac in the bedroom with a new LCD TV if it will work. OR, are there tuner cards for the new macs to hook up satalight through and watch tv on a new monitor. Suggestions???

Every LCD TV that I've seen has some sort of connection allowing for users to connect computers.

Many of them sport a standard DVI interface. However, the resolution of a TV is rather low and their dimensions are rather large. So I wouldn't use them as a monitor unless you just want to use that Mac as a media center or so.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
