I just moved into a very cramped apartment and we only have room for

windows but I am dedicated FreeBSD person... how do I go about doing
all the research I need to make sure that the following is true:
1. FreeBSD supports all hardware (and the needed functionality) to
watch full screen tv on my computer (extra points of a remote can be
used)... NOTE: This hardware must be currently fairly mass market
2. What ports to install (right now my desktop is x11-wm/xfce4) make this happen
3. Any tips on making it optimal
This is perhaps not the solution you are looking for, but many modern TV
screens has a VGA and a DVI input connector, as well as many fairly
modern computers has HDMI output. DVI is also compatible with HDMI, at
least to an extent. Perhaps you can find a monitor and use it as a
dual-purpose monitor instead?
Regards!
