There are a myriad of converters out there to enable this - most newish
large screen tvs have vga or dvi input and will take a straight connection
as a second monitor. The audio can go straight from the G5 minijack
headphone port to a hifi or music system if you have one via a minijack to
stereo left and right rca (red and white) plugs. If you want the audio into
the tv also - you can use a scart adapter (one comes with every Xbox) on an
external port of the tv with composite video and audio rca sockets - then
you just need a vga to composite (single yellow) rca cable from the mac and
you can run video and sound through the tv. Resolution shouldn't be a
problem as HDTV is still pretty low res compared to monitors.
