How would the computer connect to them? Would it see them as network devices?
basically you'd literally stick or tie in the back, with a short HDMI cable plugged in from the CHIP to the HDMI port of the TV. The computer desktop or whatever you want (full-screen view of a movie, slide show, web page, etc.) will display on the TV set. You can control it from your desk, and network two or as many as you want and control all from any other networked computer in your subnet OR just give a subdomain so you can control remotely, say you want to change what appears on the tv from home.
anything you can do with linux you can do with one of these, the TV becomes the computer display. b
were' talking about a computer that could possibly weigh less than the HDMI cable!
