    How can I view vacation pics on a CD on my flat screen TV?
    I have a 65" Pioneer as well as a Mac computer.

    Thanks

    There are a lot of ways to do this depending on the model of tv and the mac .... the easiest is to play the cd in a dvd player hooked up to the pioneer.

    Does the tv have a USB port or SD slots etc? Do you have Apple TV?

    get a western digital multimedia player (around 100 bucks at best buy) and down load all your images (video or still) to either a hard drive or a thumb drive. hook up the hard drive or the thumb drive to the mm player. the player connects to your tv with a hdmi cable and you can play any format, including hi resolution video, on any flat screen!

    Or...Depending on the year of your TV just hook the Mac up via DVI or VGA and let it recognize it as a second monitor then close the Mac and it becomes your primary monitor, and there you go!, I love doing this when I house sit for my buddy and he has his 52 inch Panasonic, I use my bluetooh key board and mouse....oh so, nice!

    Yup, this is the best solution. My friend watches HD vids on his tv like that and it's fantastic!
