oh, well yes, if you want to watch things besides dvd, that is the best solution, and probably even cheaper than a dvd player. there is a trick, to make dvd's play through a video card of your' choice, it has to be the "boot" monitor and you have to restart when changing the primary monitor, at least i've gotten it to work that way. of course you'll need a wireless keyboard and/or mouse if you want a remote control, but then again i usually don't find that necessary when watching a movie.
