Networking TV's

Hi everyone, this is my first time so go easy!

I want to hook up 6 x 26" lcd TV's around the walls of my office, they would usually show television programs but on the odd occasion I would like to show powerpoint presentations or web pages etc on every screen. I have heard about these TV's with ethernet RJ45 sockets so that each TV has an IP address, is this the way to go or is there another way. Any advice would be welcome.

Thank you

Well, what you want is 6 screens that can run each a different OR an identical program.
Can you first describe how you want to produce and distribute these signals? What equipment do you have there?

All 6 screens will be showing the same except when on TV. I can run a separate TV signal to each screen via the buildings RF distribution, its the rest I'm having trouble with. What I want ideally is LCD TV's with a network input so that I can access the screens via a PC or a webpage. Failing that one PC linked to all 6 screens will suffice, only thing is the distance from the PC to the screens will be around 20m.

Thanks
