   Yes, that should be completely doable.  I haven't tried it yet because I've   
   been working hard on my outdoor projects while we have nice weather, but I   
   used to run my 5140 with both the LCD screen and the display slice (and   
   sometimes with the display    
   slice alone), and used both the 5144 and 5145 monitors I had to connect "both   
   ways".  The display looked crisper on the 5145 than the 5144, so if I was   
   going the "slice only" route I'd want to find or re-create the PCjr display   
   cable and use a RGB2HDMI    
   device to attach it to a modern TV.  I no longer have the 5144 or 5145, I   
   scrapped both of them a few years back when I was doing some major "clean out   
   the attic" activity (along with at least 800 pounds of various and sundry   
   computer and electronics    
   equipment).
