If your computer has an HDMI out, then they'll both support monitor display. The G25 however has a VGA input, whereas the S2 doesn't. VGA is your old school monitor plugin, octagon shaped, 15-pin connector. I'd suggest the G25, especially if you're a Netflix user. that "straight to tv" function is really nice. From what I've heard from others, as well as personal experience, those free Blu-Rays that come with them aren't the most reliable. They like to have delayed loads, where it can't process the disc info quick enough, so the screen will black out in the middle of a movie for a second or so. Even though its just a quick flash of black, it gets annoying after awhile. OR you could always go with the S2 and buy a good Blu-ray player with the couple hundred bucks you save. and sell the free one they give you. Options! Enjoy that new tv man. BIG step up from 2003's tvs!
