Easiest way?

[captain_slinky]

tech-nerds, I ask of you! What is the EASIEST WAY to get video from your computer to your regular digital TV set? Is there some device that will allow me to just connect my Laptop to my TV?

Ideal situation would be some set-up where i can sit on my couch with the laptop, use it to browse the files on my desktop computer and then play said files on my TV set in front of me.

I've found plenty of devices that (as I understand the descriptions) send TV shows from my TV to my Computer, but not the other way around? Am I missing something?

First, what "in" ports do you have on your TV? Second you will need a video card with a matching port or an on board motherboard port that matches one of the "in" ports on your TV. You could also use cable adapters for a cheap alternative if needed but adapters more often than not tend to cause more issues than they solve.

I've got RCA and Coax input a-plenty... can you think of any wireless solutions?
