From Asus EEE to TV

I just bought a new TV. I wanted to buy a regular one, but I realized they aren't sold any more. So I went with the flow and I bought an LCD (the smallest one they had). I have found out that it has many connectors, among other connectors to connect to a PC.
When I was in Berlin I bought a VGA cable (the one with blue ends) and an audio cable. They weren't really expensive so I decided to buy then even if I don't know if movie playback from a computer to my new TV will work. When I came home I first connected my EEE to a TV via VGA cable and the picture was great! I played around with it a little but I found out that it was hard to use the keyboard behind the TV. I rather downloaded a movie to my USB key, plugged it in the EEE and played it on the TV. The picture was better that TV signal, I even used the software to show the subtitles. The player that comes with the EEE is great - it has everything that I'm used to from my Windows PC, where I use the great BSPlayer. I have had some trouble with special Slovenian characters because they weren't displayed correctly. I noticed that the font for the subtitles can be changed, but I will have to look into that next time.
Overall experience: great! I will use my EEE instead of my DVD player from now on.
