Default Using TV As Monitor For PC - Keyboard/Mouse Help

Hey CP!

I have been using my 37" 1080P Sharp LCD TV as my monitor for my PC for about a year now. I have my keyboard and mouse on my coffee table.

I find this to be an awkward arrangement as I have to lean forward and slouch down for long periods when using my PC. I like all of the rest of the aspects of it but if anyone has a solution for this problem (a large tray table that could extend back over couch or a kind of coffee table that raises up and extends over the couch), I would be very grateful to hear of it.

Thanks in advance for any ideas you can give me!

We bought some trays at the Seen on TV store, that we used for a bit.

Thanks Rathji, I will give that some thought. I don't think it is big enough for a keyboard and mouse though so I will continue to solicit ideas.

I have used a "breakfast in bed" tray. It has legs that fold out with a large tray top. That has worked well.

Now that you mention it, I think I used the mouse on a book or something.
