Q. I have a samsung blueray player, and xbox 360, Samsung LCD 630 55", a Samsung LAN adapter, and a 2wired network(wired/wireless both). Is there anyway to set up my TV as a remote screen for my computer?
A. No. Not without a wireless VGA or WHDMI extender of some kind. And those things are NOT cheap. We are talking $200 for the cheapest VGA wireless extender set.
A LAN network does not have the necessary bandwidth to transmit high-resolution computer monitor video. The best home routers might do 1 gigabit (which is roughly 12.5 megabytes / sec). A DVI connection does 8 gigabytes/ sec in comparison.
Frankly, connecting your computer to your HDTV using a $10 VGA, DVI or HDMI cable is FAR more cost-effective.

What is the best soundbar in the less than 300 dollar range?
Q. I have a Hisense 55" LCD TV. It is a good tv for what I paid, but the sound is atrocious! Does anyone know of a reasonably priced soundbar that works well? An ipod dock or bluetooth would be a definite plus. I have found various options on Amazon and I am just trying to whittle it down to the best ones. Thank you for any help.
A. Some things to be careful of:
Many soundbars accept left/right RCA jacks. Your HDTV probably has a Optical output. These are NOT compatible with each other. Make sure to only buy a soundbar that accepts optical.
For speakers - always buy speakers from a company that makes speakers as their main business. This means Energy, Polk, Klipsch, Boston, etc. Avoid Samsung, Philips, Sony, etc. These companies make some good items, but speaker are not their strengths.
The better sound bars have a external subwoofer. The small speakers in a soundbar cannot produce BASS. If you like action/adventure shows or movies, consider getting a unit with a external subwoofer.
They do make ones with wireless subwoofers but running an RCA cable is cheaper and the system tends to cost less. Go for one of these if you can afford it.
