Can't just use a telly as a monitor though, they often have lots of lag between input signal and display. This isn't a problem for watching telly but on a computer it's horrible if the mouse doesn't move straight away when you move it, or keystrokes don't appear on the screen straight away, it's really disconcerting.
I get that in the office, at home on the remote connection it’s horrible. I’m now so used to just typing an waiting for it to appear before checking the smelling mistakes that it no longer bothers me.
