I don't know if this will work so I am asking for opinions.
I'm would like to try to connect my x64 laptop via a HDMI to a Samsung 55" LCD HDTV and use it a a monitor.
In addition, I would load a wireless keyboard and mouse to the laptop and use it on a desk.
Will this work
Thanks

will work just fine. I do that with my HTPC and one of my laptops daily

I am assuming with this type connection the laptop can be placed anywhere
as long as it is on. Can coupled HDMI cables be used for distance. -
to an extent, HDMI is a crappy standard for distance. if you only need 6-10 feet go with HDMI, up to 25 feet use the old VGA port if you have one. for long didtances look at something like this.

I have a 25 ft VGA cable and I think I'll try that. The only reason I said HDMI is for the digital picture effect.
Do you get a reasonable LCD screen using VGA, by that I mean color clarity. -
Identical in most cases I have seen
