I don't think your laptop has HDMI out but it does have S-video out, correct? You could probably pickup an S-video cable pretty cheaply. Here's a video which I didn't actually watch but it looks like it probably explains how to do exactly what you want to do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vz-_wsrsAY Personally, I just run a regular monitor cord(male on both ends) between my desktop computer and my TV. Assuming your Panasonic has PC input, that may be an option. As for enabling multiple displays, that should be covered in the video? Hehe, yeah, good nose owbist. I understand it's possible to report SPAM but I'm much too lazy. Forum needs a "Report as SPAM" button but I suppose it will probably never get it.

The PC IN input you referred to is most likely a "15 pin D-Sub", "VGA" or whatever you want to call it, it takes a standard PC monitor cable. Your computer will almost certainly have one of those. If not, then it should have either DVI or HDMI. I added a link below to a DVI->HDMI adapter that will work with any of the myriad of DVI ports that you might have. Once you have that, any HDMI cable will do. I'd recommend getting either the DVI or VGA cables at www.monoprice.com, they're good quality cables and the prices can't be beaten. Here is a link that might be useful: DVI to HDMI adapter.

Thanks Robo! What wireless modem do you have and what speed is it? Is there a certain # or lettered modem that is best in class? In terms of the mount vs. a stand, I wanted the countertop clear so I really didn't want a stand. I do worry about the weight. One 21.5" weighed 12+lbs which sounds a bit heavy to be hanging from under the cabinet I did find a few all-in-ones that say VESA mount (A Dell and an Asus ET1611PUT). https://www.asus.com/AllinOne_PCs/ET1611PUT/#overview The ASUS is about 7lbs. Will try to check reviews on them later. I'm calling BestBuy tomorrow to schedule something Thank you!

Sorry, I didn't realize I got some responses. Ok, I have Windows 7 Hp desk top. I have a Wi Fi as I have another laptop, a kindle and a smart phone. I live in the boonies and am not lucky like a lot of you city folk who have unlimited access. Right now our limit is 12 Gig which we go over periodically and then it is $10 a gig that you can buy extra. If you don't buy it then they cut your speed way down that makes it not even worth trying to use it. So, I don't want to go over. I have a new genealogy software program that I am trying to add information to and this is how I realized that I wasn't turning it off when I thought I was. I had Family.search running in the back ground so I could refer to what I had already entered on line. Some things I have a paper record, so I would turn off the internet (I thought) when I didn't need the web site but I didn't actually close out the page. I realized that if I left the page open, even though I hadn't actually clicked on "connect" to turn it back on, I was able to go to other pages which meant I was not disconnected like I thought. So then I noticed that when I turned on my PC and it booted up, that the internet icon showed that I was connected, even though I didn't open up my browser. So what you are saying kudzu9 is that as long as the browser is not opened I am not using my data. So I will just close those pages when I'm not using them. Right?
