I have my secondary monitor as my living room TV.

It works out really well if you have netflix.

But check out the gyro remote i think it is called.

It's the mouse i use while i'm chillaxin on the couch in the living room, works like the gyro part of a wii remote.

Plus if you have some sort of third party where you were able to download movies... it would work great for that...

theoretically

I won't use it but will look at it at least. I am pretty satisfied with my current solution, it is streamlined to my tastes and uses no more resources than it absolutely has to.

I run WMC and stream it to my TV via media extender (Xbox 360 in my case). I use it as a DVR for OTA channels. Works great as long as you get a good antenna signal. I also stream all of my music and videos (mostly .avi) through it.
