Quick Question - This TV as a second computer monitor?

[Totes_Magotes]

So I'm looking at getting a TV for my new room and i would also like it to double as a second computer monitor for when i'm editing. I found a good deal on a Samsung 32" lcd hdtv. I was wondering if it had the ports I would need to connect to my 2009 macbook pro 17" (and how i would go about doing it in the first place). Here's the specs

Video

XD Engine

Aspect Ratio 16:9

Aspect Ratio Correction 6 Modes

Enhanced Noise Reduction (Video Noise Filter): (3D & MPEG)

Color Temperature Control 3 Modes

Intelligent Sensor Mode

xvYCC

DTV Signal Strength Indicator

Audio

Mono/Stereo/Dual (MTS/SAP)

SRS TruSurround HD™

Watts per channel: 10W x 2

Connectivity

3 HDMI (2 rear/1 side)

Anynet + (HDMI-CEC)

USB 2.0 Movie (1 side)

PC input (rear)

It is the Samsung ln32b460 tv model.

Thanks alot and +k

I think you should be able to hook it up using an HDMI out from your MBP

according to this, http://support.apple.com/kb/SP546 , your mbp does not have an hdmi port. you may need to buy an adapter for mini displayport to hdmi, plus an hdmi cable. you should be able to get both at a local best buy or something, but here is the apple one http://store.apple.com/us/product/H1824ZM/A/Moshi_Mini_DisplayPort_to_HDMI_Adapter
