where you want: on the PC or on the TV: Windows 7 supports a

HDTV and use Windows Media Center to watch and view all your media. Of course
this works with a standard PC monitor too. But because Windows 7 makes it easy

home for Windows Media Center and bring in content from all PCs on your home
network to that single PC connected to your HDTV.
