there I checked Sony, Onida, Samsung and Panasonic - all worked. They were thrilled and said 'we told you that our TVs work with all PCs!'
Purchased an LG 32LF20FR 32" with HDMI, VGA, etc. Read somewhere that it runs linux. Has a serial port and a most unusual usb debug port.
trust you to find the last surviving serial port in the world
;-) strange to find a serial port on a LCD tv. The user manual provides a nice description of the protocol to control the TV via serial. Now to connect the pc via usb and reboot the TV. Opening the TV case prohibited by DECREE of everybody at home. Would be fun to check out the onboard interfaces - some have bluetooth and sdcard interfaces.
