I've got a VGA cable and a headphone jack cable just chillin' tucked behind my TV. Hooking up the laptop is as easy as those two plugs and pressing "View PC" on my Harmony remote. Plus with a bluetooth mouse, you're online pretty easily from the couch with the lappy next to the TV.

It's low tech, but looks great on the 1080p native resolution, and Lisa can watch Ugly Betty or whatever online if the DVR doesn't record it (which happens all the time... my DVR is so buggy it's almost worse than no DVR at all).
