Use ing TV as extra monitor.

[heaton]

I run a small group interested in photoshop and similar pro grammes. Instead of the group looking over my shoulder is it possible to run a lead from my computer into the AV of my TV so that all could see from their seats. I don't want to go to the expense of a projector,

Does your video card support AV out?

Remember that any text will look shocking on a TV, the resolution is very poor, relative to a monitor.

Yes... If the TV and GFX card support it... But seeing as you have failed to provide any details on these it is impossible to say

What gets me, Is my TV is about a 12 years old, And the text is perfectly readable, Browsing the web or my files/folders is no issue, images are sharp, Games look awesome.

I also have the feed out to the TV set at 1026 x 768.

Any chance my Tv is actualy capable of accepting that resolution?...it seems to be....

They guy I work for has just done it with his recently purchased Toshiba laptop (which I helped him choose) and a TV RGB cable plugged into his big screen TV. According to him it is very successful.

Not at all TEoR. There is no Mac in the 15" size for $1699 which was the price range he was looking in. His budget was between $1500-$1700 for the laptop and a bit extra for extended warranty and Cashbook. I have helped him out with OpenOffice which I also use, Avast, Spybot, Comodo, FF, iTunes and Picasa and will also sort him out with GIMP. He is running XP Pro SP2. I was very happy with his choice.

The current 15" MacBook Pro is/was excessively priced at $4500 (yes that is my honest view) It used to be around $3500.
The range has recently been updated and reduced in price to $3399 although considering the current exchange rate I believe that Apple NZ could still drop $500-$600 of the price and still do ok since the MacBook Pro 15" is priced from $1999 US. The problem is that they buy from Apple Australia and could do it cheaper if they bought from Apple Canada.

In other words his crap wouldn't fly with his boss, a person who can probably base his decisions on logic rather then devotion.
