I'm intrigued by this, because my Mac Mini does fine on my Samsung 40" 1080p
TV at 1920x1080.  Over the VGA connection, it looked like crap, but with a
DVI to HDMI adapter, it's fine.  I use it mostly for Boxee or FrontRow... at
6 or 7 feet, the type is small for general computing, and I haven't tried
playing with it too much to try to make it useful.

Were I to, I'd probably get a Logitech diNovo Mini to use it from the couch.
