PC connection/split screen. Won't use it. I don't at home, why should I there. It is very easy for me to move my eyes from laptop to TV. Now limiting my distance from the TV to the length of the analog cable connecting the laptop and TV's Plug-in panel just doesn't make sense. My guess is that this Plug in panel will be on the desk since its power plugs will replace those currently in most lamps - none of Marriott's illustrations show where the plug-in panel is located in the room. I can see a benefit of being able to easily connect the laptop to the TV for playing a DVD. Gamers will also probably like it. The TV itself is nice and for the size of most hotel rooms it is sufficient IMO. As long as there is HD programming then this is a plus.
