I use my TV as a monitor for my media server—great for watching TV and video. I’ve found that sitting on the couch with my large-screen laptop and using the TV as a secondary monitor when I need to hold some extra material works very well. Juggling between two controllers helps push me towards a much slower activity cycle. On the other hand, it’s very frustrating when I actually want a rapid activity cycle (such as when troubleshooting the Ubuntu install on the media server >.<)
