So when is the Enterprise due to dock with your goddamn living room and let us all onboard?

Holy Hell with a capital H!

got to love those projectors. My friend had one, we used to watch movies in the werehouse he had, it was friggin tight, they are expensive, something like $2000 now for one.

GEEZ-US!! OMFG! That's freakin' insane, your are a madaman, you are shouldn't be allowed around small childeren and pets!, I'm surprise the MIB haven't showed up looking for roaming Romulans...

Can I come over and play!

I do feel sorry for whoever lives next to you. That thing problably puts on better light show than 4th of July fireworks.

What do you have hooked up for sound? I'm afraid to ask really...probably a 10,000 watt THX sound movie theater system that Lucas Light and Magic personally set up for him...

I feel so.....puny now...

So here's the setup.

P3 1.8G with 1.5G of SDRAM running a Radeon 9700Pro (which I'm upgrading to a 9800 as soon as I can).
Soundblaster Audigy2 connected to an Altec Lansing sub/satellite (5 speaker) system, hard-switched with...
a pair of Plantronics HS1 Gaming/Multimedia Stereo/Microphone PC Headset
InFocus LP755 running 1280x1024 desktop rez, hardswitched with...
a Samsung SyncMaster 21" monitor

And in case anyone cares,
200GB of HD space on 3 separate drives, one of which dual-boots to Win98 for playing old abandonware like StarFlight, Moo2, and Ascendency.
secondary connection through a Belkin SOHO to a Win98 box for video recording (this PC is a celeron 400mhz running 128MB RAM and 6GB HD, running a Radeon 8500 to a standard VHS VCR).
Wacom Multimedia tablet with pen for digital artwork
Custom BattleClinic mousepad

It's humble, but I call it home.

I wonder what would happen if i plugged my computer's TV-out into my 54 inch projection television...

supe_k · « **Reply #32 on:** April 14, 2003, 03:20:23 am »

Praxis,
I figure one of 2 things: You'll go blind from the incredible amount of light being emitted by the TV or your head will explode from not being able to comprehend why a shuttle is now the size of Galaxy class starship on the monitor.

This is how I watch anime:

.. SFC kinda looks crappy on it, but it's acceptable.

.. but my 21" screen does a better job for SFC.. and keeping my cat warm.. if I can keep my GF off of it.

Or the TV will explode. My N64 gives a warning not to plug into a Projection Television. Does the same go for computers? Lets find out

Parislord · « **Reply #35 on:** April 14, 2003, 11:32:11 am »

Ugh, I want. My Dad runs his games off a 42" Plasma HDTV monitor. Doesn't even have to use TV-out, it's got the normal graphic-card port. Sound by Polk (sp?) home theatre. When he runs Grand Prix Legends it's like being right in the damn pits!

MrCue · « **Reply #36 on:** April 14, 2003, 12:46:41 pm »

im a tad confused as to why all you ppl from over the pond run your comps through your TV's? the only good reason i could see in that, is to record from PC to video, your replays and "borrowed" items from the vast film library that is the internet.

Parislord · « **Reply #37 on:** April 14, 2003, 04:32:56 pm »

Well, in my father's case, it's to reduce eye strain. The larger, sharper, screen allows him to sit at a further distance and still see everything clearly.

In my case, it adds to the sense of immersion to have a viewscreen-sized display.
