my HP Envy is networkd w/ my home theater, and i have a wireless Logitech keyboard. until i get a better video card (GPU) w/ an HDMI out, i have to use a VGA cable to the HDTV and a Toslink optical line for the audio to the receiver. the computer is in the bedroom; the home theater, and HDTV is in the living-room. i have a passive VGA splitter (which works fine for short distances) in the bedroom going to the monitor, and the VGA cable to the living-room needed an extension, because i moved. this works excellent for a low-priced cable. the question remains as to its durability...
