Marc, thanks, I'll research VGA or DVI cables.
I'm also wondering which of those hands-free binocular glasses (besides
binoculites) allow use of sunglasses in conjunction. That's an
important consideration. At surface glance, it would seem binoculites
are the best bet - but I'm no expert.
As for those large LCD TVs, aside from the expense, I'll forego same
because a few people (both on my survey as well as Michael Battilana's
site) mentioned issues with LCD TVs. Note the bigger they are, the
worse (because bigger ones have more CCFL tubes and therefore much more
radiation - I cringe just considering it). I also cringe at the
expense. I've already invested way too much money experimenting with
dead-end computer screens & anti-EMF thingies. All of which info I
mentioned on my site.
Regards,
Minni
