Pandora only has S-video output, which is definitely not "a tv or other display", but just a tv. Of course, USB-to-VGA might work (some adapters have Linux drivers), but I wouldn't expect too much of those.

Personally, S-video out is plenty for me: it's a portable device after all. I used to hook up a tv to my Archos PMA430 in "emergency" cases and it was more than satisfactory, even for office work.
