Thanks for checking out my question.

My daughter has begged me to go Apple so here I am after 40 years of PC.

Too long of a story to tell but I find myself without a PC computer.

After too much research for my brain to handle I am here for a few questions.

If I were to buy a Mac Pro 5,1 would I be able to use my 4-year-old Vizio 48" Smart TV for a monitor?

If so what does it take?

Also, would the browser show on the screen as it does on my daughter's MacBook?

Thanks again for answering both questions!

It could work but it depends on a few things, like e.g. the type of connector on the TV and the GPU (which can be replaced by a different one) installed in the MacPro.

I can't tell you ...
