Gaming on 47" TV = AWESOME

So I had to remove my tv from the living room because my daughter was having a dance. I plugged it into my PC and played Diablo 3, Race On, Half Life 2 and OMFG it's wild. 1920x1080 resolution rocks on this thing. Playing Diablo 3 was a blast. Racing is just mind blowing. Sadly it will go back to my living room tomorrow, or so. ;-)

So just move your PC to the living room. :wink:

Actually, I've been considering something like that for a while. My media box (living room) and gaming rig (room upstairs) are both due for an upgrade, so I'm considering just combining them into a single machine, and moving all my gaming stuff to a spot in the living room.

...Drawback is that I won't be able to play while Michelle is watching TV or a Blu-ray. :? Of course, I don't get that much playing time anyway being a Dad, so...

At 18-24" away my 24" PC screen gives pretty much the same effect, and the 1920x1200 resolution helps. :P

I would move my pc but I can't run the rj45 too it. My cable modem is in the back room. I will enjoy it and if I ever feel like doing it again I know I can. My next monitor will be like a 32 or so lcd

If only TVs had a dual link DVI-D or DisplayPort input and could show 120 Hz, then you could really rock with a big screen. HDMI has a 60 Hz hard limit.

I game on a projector with a 120 screen at 1920 x 1080p. With a Logitech Z-5500 Digital Speaker System. I also have my blu-ray, cable box, computer and Xbox all hooked up to the system. It's awesome.
