HT TV/Monitor for Mac Mini based digital Audio Sys


Hey All,

I got a Mac Mini for Christmas and I'm going to use it as a centerpiece for a digital music server. I'm just curious if anyone here is using a 42" or larger Plasma TV as a monitor for their Mac based music system?

Currently my HT system and 2-channel rig reside in the same room, on the same rack (but they don't shere speakers). I would like to replace my older Panasonic EDTV Plasma with a 1080P Panasonic Plasma and share it for HT use and to use as a monitor for the Mac based music server.

Any issues with doing this? Is the video quality going to be good enough to use for not only iTunes, but also for surfing the web and doing e-mail? Sitting distance is 7-9 feet.

Thanks for any comments.....

Enjoy,

TIC

You should be fine, my only concern is the fact your TV is a Plasma. IME..using a plasma as a monitor isn't a good idea. It should look just fine though. The newer Mac Mini's video card is capable of 1080P. Once you get accustom to a large PC monitor..it will be hard to use anything else.
