I don't mean to sound silly, but have you tried just connecting one?
was put impeccably into words at DebianDay for me last Saturday, by Knut Yrvin of Trolltech - adults try something once, fail, and then are like "ffs this doesn't work". Children try, fail, and then try again, and succeed - maybe on the second, or even fifth retry. But the thing is that they keep at it and overcome the problems in the end.

RE: Computer To TV
LCDs don't burn in. Some types of LCD screens have a defferent kind of image retention, but it's temporary only, and appears only faintly.

Since your TV is an LCD, there is a good chance that it has a higher resolution than a regular TV, especially since it's got a computer input. Some LCD screens have non-square pixels, (these are requires by most computers to produce a proper image, or else its stretched wierd) but again since it has computer input it probably has square pixels.

Regular monitor cable seems to be your best connection option. Once it's physically connected, how it will behave by default is uncertain, but it can then be configured to work how you want.

Yep, but Hybrid hasn't gotten that far, the computer is unable to find a format to send the video in that the TV will support, not the TV is recieving the video but just displaying the wrong input.
