varun Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Hmm.. I was thinking about this, but decided against it.. I'm kinda happy with my current setup in which I just use my old laptop. Install Plex or XBMC (kickass softwares for media display) Hook it up to a large monitor. Install Snatch on your iphone, and install Plex remote on it.. Pretty sweet.

Shane Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Should i go for a HDMI-HDMI Cable? Or would a VGA-VGA suffice? Is there someting like a VGA-HDMI cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most probably it would need to be a HDMI-DVI cable if you're connecting your laptop to an HD Monitor/TV and you want to see HD movies on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
