To clarify, are you looking to effectively attach your TV as a second monitor to your computer?

Apologies for not answering this earlier - I must have missed the notification for this.

To clarify - yes - I would like to use a TV (or other screen with a Chromecast attached) as a second monitor for any desktop.

See this thread for more context.

Thanks for the feedback - it's an interesting idea.  However I don't see us getting to this in the foreseeable future.
