If you've never considered using a VGA cable to link your computing device to your LCD TV, then you're seriously missing out on the latter's functionality. You probably bought a high-definition display for your Blu-Ray player or your gaming console, and these should hint at the variety of conveniences you'll enjoy if you hook up your laptop or desktop to a larger display. Imagine yourself toggling through four windows of different applications without resizing or minimizing any of these. Multitasking is more convenient if you don't have to shift between window panes; you won't lose much of your momentum as you sort through them. While it's true that the experience may be too overwhelming at the outset, you'll easily warm up to the idea, especially when you can switch to full screen mode for your online games and high-definition videos.
