iPad as screen monitor?

[Tuttle]

Hi Tuttle - appears that your attempts have ALMOST worked out, but I agree that a non-iPad viewing option is your best choice.

First, do you have an HDTV in your second home, preferably w/ an HDMI input option? If so, a consideration? Second, if not then you might want to decide on buying an HDTV instead of a monitor - a small TV would not be too expensive and would give you some other choices?

As to a monitor, some of the better brands that I've seen/read about are Viewsonic, Asus, & Dell but there are so many - a google search on 'best computer monitors' or a look on the PC Mag or PC World websites will probably give you plenty of choices w/i your price range. You have a number of video output options on the iMac Mini, including HDMI, so you'll need to decide 'how' to connect and make sure all is compatible.

Good luck w/ your selection - shout back if you still have questions and hope others will 'chime in' - Dave

Will do. Thanks mucho!
