[quote=Anonymous]We just got a desktop computer without a monitor and hooked it up to our older television. You just need a compatible hook up which in our case was an HDMI cable. We also got a wireless mouse and keyboard that goes in the coffee table. No need to buy an extra large monitor. Honestly, I prefer it to the smart TV set up because it's a lot easier to navigate this stuff with a browser than using a remote. And it helps if you have older relatives or people who are not tech savvy -- most people can manage a desktop computer at this point, which is what our TV basically is. I recommend also getting a sound bar because there are some fidelity issues with sound sometimes and they were resolved when we added a sound bar to our set up. Also, in addition to streaming, we are able to watch anything that we have downloaded/purchased. This is handy when internet is down, or if we have house guests taxing our internet usage. We just have an external hard drive with all downloaded media on it, and we can plug it straight into the computer. So easy.[/quote]
