I want a tv that I can use for computer screen in kitchen

15 years ago

I am not a techie, so I don't know anything about this. But, I want a small tv to mount under my cabinets. I would like to occasionally use it as a monitor. How do I go about this? There are no tvs that have internet capability built in is there? I assume they would have to have some sort of memory like a laptop would have. I do have wireless broadband internet and I have a directv hookup for this tv.

I sometimes use my Olevia 26 inch LCD tv as a computer monitor in my bedroom, but I hook my laptop up to it and use a wireless keyboard as well as a wireless mouse (that way I don't have to sit in front of the laptop to type and click). It works great! To do it that way though, you need to make sure the small tv you buy for that purpose has the proper input.
