TV and connection advice.
We are going to get a big TV (50 inch + possibly) for our briefing room and need to connect it to the HDMI or USB ports on laptops. We are fed up of arsing about with projectors and screens and want to connect direct to the TV.
Question 1.
Can the new batch of big TV's (Plasma/LED/LCD) connect via USB?
Question 2.
Will the screen have a good enough image transfer from the laptop to the TV?
Question 3.
Which TV would be best for £1800 ?
Cheers

Just to be 100% clear - you'll need HDMI for the picture, USB is generally just for storage.
A cheap HDMI cable is fine if it's a short run. The longer the cable is, the better quality it needs to be in order to work properly.
Some TVs have picture processing built in which works OK for TV programmes but looks awful on PCs - and which can't be turned off. It's worth checking that you can disable any kind of "dynamic" or "cinema" processing, as well as turning off HDMI overscan.
£1800 will get you a Panasonic 50" VT30, which is a cracking set (though not without its problems - google green patches and fluctuating brightness).

I was going to try and haggle for a free HDMI lead but didn't want to push it as it already comes with free delivery.
