Just moved into the new house and I'm finally back online.  So the first thing I do is throw in TF2.  Let me just say, if you are at the point of getting bored with the game, get a larger tv.  I went from a 32 in. to a 60 in. and it's a whole new thing.  At this point the house is not at all set up.  Moved from Charleston to Myrtle Beach, SC and decided to sell almost all the furniture rather than make a few trips with the price of gas and a Uhaul. SO, I don't have a couch at the moment and we are using one of the beds in the living room (go ahead and laugh, I do every time i walk in the door.)  The new tv is roughly 5 ft from the 'couch' so it looks huge.  I get a little dizzy playing TF2 sitting this close. 

see you online.

Just got a 65 inch DLP for football season. Looks great but I still prefer sitting at a desk rather than on ther floor using my coffee table as one

60+inch? O_O

What are you, spoiled brats?

But now you can answer me a question!

Does the screen get all fuzzy when using the tv with the computer, or does it just get larger. I mean, if you have a 42" tv, you need to sit at like 4m to have the best quality when watching movies etc. But is it like that with a computer?

Edit: Oh god, this is the PS forum... >_> They need to put up a warning in the "Latest posts" :3

I have my computer on my TV screen, its 'only' 26" (hey, im 17).
The screen doesnt get fuzzy or anything, just as sharp as a small screen...

I was inspired by this thread to try something I wanted to do for a while; Hook up my PC (I know, I know, It's the PS forum. So sue me) to a projector sitting in my basement. It was fuzzy, and limited to 1280x720, but at 165 inches? Who cares?!
The projector was WAY cheep too, less than $500 used. Someone else should try this, cheaper and bigger than LCD's, but not HD and not so sharp, plus the color seems a bit faded and you need darkness. Tradeoffs, eh? Much in the TF2 style. 

Fuzziness has to do with the clarity of the signal and TV. Digital signal ---> Digital LCD TV + right resolution = Crispy picture(?)
Analog signals, like yellow component and composite cables, can come out fuzzy on LCD's, especially at the wrong resolution.

I still like my 75 pound, 20" CRT because it stays sharp at any resolution and I can make fun deformations to the screen when I'm bored (Ha! Try and adjust the pincushion setting on that LCD!!)

But if somebody buys an LCD for my birthday or christmas, I wouldn't exactly throw it out the window either...
