cpu: i7 3.2ghz
gfx: geforce gtx 295
ram: 8gigs
os: vista ultimate x64
hdd: 1TB

and like..at least 20" screen

Nice. Or phenom BE x4 setup.
Should we be expecting dramatic price drops anytime soon on lga775 gear considering the new sockets have arrived?

Err the tv's are more expensive than monitors.

 

[whatashotbyseve]

oh yeah, good idea.

how would u connect the tv to the computer?

I have a Bravia 32" in my room, it just connects using a standard VGA cable. As long as your LCD TV has VGA output you are sweet.

 

[Omie Jay]

shit thats awesome.

how about thru hdmi, if computer has a port then u can connect with that?

 

[whatashotbyseve]

Haven't tried it, but why not? It's theoretically possible. Picture image is ridiculously good on mine.

 

[wrxsti]

shit thats awesome.

I have a Samsung 19inch TV that i connect with the VGA port.(used as my desktop monitor)
and i also have a samsung 46inch HD TV in the living room that i connect my new laptop with, i use HDMI. Just need to buy urself a $20 1m hdmi cable and set TV source to HDMI output and your viewing.

first time viewing a computer on a 46inch screen... my reaction "WHAT THE F**K, LOOKS AWESOME!, runs the same IMO. I play COD4 on the big screen with my desktop during uni holidays, the sound output is great! also dvd viewing is a dream.

 

[whatashotbyseve]

Everything will come up perfectly, as long as your native resolutions match. My laptops max res is 1440x900, so that is what works best on the TV screen. You can just fiddle around with it. Everything looks stunning on a TV, really recommend it. Plus it actually doubles as... wait for it... a TV so it is actually more versatile than a monitor. For less.

 

[Omie Jay]

fuck oath

i want like 100000$ now so i can build a gaming pc and get like a 50" lcd

 

[whatashotbyseve]

Kevin's money is coming next week....

 

[Omie Jay]

so is it as simple as getting a hdmi cable, sticking one end into laptop, and the other end into tv?

my laptop has a butten, i press Fn+F8 to switch between laptop screen and external monitor, so i literally just stick hdmi cable into laptop and other end into tv and then Fn+F8?

and the stuff on laptop screen just pops up on tv screen?

edit: and i wont be seeing my krudd money, its going straight to pay off the new house we bought in kogarah for $600k

 

[whatashotbyseve]

Something like that. Just make sure your TV is on the PC setting or similar... and Bob's your uncle. Technology, aye?

 

[Omie Jay]

yeh technology, just plug and play aye, awesome.

i want.

 

[Bacilli]

Consider response time and resolution though... If your gear is shit and your screen is large, shit fraps and mega lag

 

[Omie Jay]

yeah THATS what i was thinking might happen.

 

[whatashotbyseve]

That side I can't help you on. Maybe google can.

 

[wrxsti]

yeah THATS what i was thinking might happen.

The old laptops, u need to press Fn f8 or wateva on the laptop. But when i connected for my laptop, it automatically switched to the TV source, it even asked me if i wanted to see the picture on the TV AND laptoptogether.

for older PC's and graphic cards, you might need to play around with the resolution.Omie Jay, here's a few pics (Not clear though arghh!)

 

[Omie Jay]

thats so awesome.

is that ur laptop or ur desktop?

have u tried ur laptop? how does it run on tv?

just wondering, since my lappy's same as urs but better gfx card.

 

[whatashotbyseve]

Here is mine, for what it is worth. Bit blurry/dark/small but you get the picture (literally... lol)
