I had to buy a new TV so I bought a 32” with a VGA input. Then with a VGA splitter cable ($18) and a 6’ extention ($14) to the TV You can watch any internet program like netflix on a big screen TV. No need for Roku. If your TV is more than 8’ feet from the computer, I’m told, you will need a ‘booster box’ (about $40). All these items were found on Amazon, just pay attention that you get the cable ends (male/female) right.
I use the VGA hook up off my laptop with an audio off the headphone jack to audio in connection on TV. For some reason audio does not come over to the TV using an HDMI cable on some content. It just be my laptop, never figured it out.
