well i like the 2nd option, although i wish i cud have it set on duplicate and still have my tv at the highest res, plus what about the sound? if i have the get the aux cable, i'm gonna have to get a long one and its gonna have to go across my room just like this hdmi cable which kinda ruins the look of the room. My room config is weird but this seems to be the best bet with how and where the internet line is and the tv cable
