Shooting tethered is pretty awkward no matter how you slice it. Although I believe there's a way to do it using technology nowadays where you are not physically tethered via a cord to a laptop. But, that being said, I never have anyone looking over my shoulder on my sets that needs to see anything, so I never bother shooting tethered.
If I want to look at the images in hi-res as I begin shooting a set to check the light or setup I'll just pause shooting briefly, pop the CF card out and sit down and look at the images on my desktop and hi-res monitor if I am at home or my laptop screen if I'm on location.
