The unification of 'screens' to be used as a frontend to any type of content is going fast and buying a tv set instead of buying a 'pc' could be a valuable option. Even TV sets tend to be cheaper than a thin client solution. (small size screens similar to desktop screens) Maybe I'm wrong in this but ... a tv set should be powerfull on the level of graphical generations. Looking at the specs of samsung ( http://developer.samsung.com/devices/tv-specs ) I wonder what the problem would be. We do not own such a set (yet) but maybe somebody did the test ;) Greetings and many thanks for any ideas. Jan.
