HDTV's
Anybody here connected their TV's up to their PC's?
I've just plugged my PC into my new 40" Samsung Series 8 and I must say that FSX looks absolutely stunning at 1920*1080! Its very imersive playing on such a large screen and the picture quality is far better then my 22" LCD monitor! Performance isn't really affected as the jump to 1920x1080 isn't much of a step up from my monitor's 1680x1050. I'm well chuffed as other games such as UT3 and Bioshock are ace on this thing too
I used a long DVI to HDMI cable, a wireless keyboard & mouse, a USB extension lead for the joystick and a long co-axial cable for the sound into the amp.

Re: HDTV's
Don't go posting things like that, I'm finding it hard enough not buying a 50" flat screen!
Currently I've only got a 28" CRT which is running as a display for my media centre PC which is cobbled together from spare parts after upgrading my main box. I suppose I could claim I was trying to kick start the economy....

Re: HDTV's
You could also claim that buying stuff from abroad will get even more expensive as the pound continues to fall and import prices rise I'm glad I did tbh as I still cant get over the quality of Blu ray discs....
Heh I'm not married but the current lady friend knows better then to interfere with my hard-earned

Re: HDTV's
I have the best of both worlds with my 19" Hansol CRT.. HD if I have my reading glasses on.. blurred otherwise Unfortunately, my 21" TV died the death last year so I had to resort to an old 14" I had kicking around. It's not as bad as you'd imagine and far enough from my eyes that it's clear without my HD glasses
