I cant speak to how it looks on a TV or how using it for applications with
just a TV works. I can tell you however it works just fine as a PC doing a
word document and watching TV at the same time. I Have a 17" LCD monitor
and use it all the time this way with no problems. I just make the media
center window as small as possible (maybe 2.5" x 2.5") and then open another
application and work right along side the small Media Center window. You
have to move it around every once and a while to get to something you need
but really not that big of a deal. The Media Center window has a toggle on
it to make sure it stays "on top" even if another application is the active
one.
