multi-tabling on plasma tv
im looking to buy a 50" plasma or lcd tv and would also like to hook it up to my computer so i can multitable from my couch. preferably i would just hook it up to my laptop which would rest on top of the dvd player and have wireless mouse and keyboard on my coffee table/couch.
- is plasma or lcd better for this or does it not matter? - what resolution tv do i need to get so that the graphics are doable? - would the video card on my laptop be sufficient to handle the tv's resolution? i have the dell 6000 with wuxga. - or is there a way to hook it up to my desktop across the room? really long connection cables? - anyone already doing this? and if so, links to recommended plasma/lcd tvs? |

[/ QUOTE ] afaik, neither plasma nor lcd TV's are ideal for what you want to do. you need at least 1600x1200 resolution on the TV, which I don't think many of them will do. you'll probably need a device which is primary a monitor, like a 30inch Apple Cinema display. |

I'd be surprised if there's a TV with even close to the 1600x1200 resolution you'd need for 4 tables without overlap. If there is, I'm having one too!

Re: multi-tabling on plasma tv
ok forget the multi-tabling. how about just to play one table? will the graphics be sh*tty on a 50" plasma?

Re: multi-tabling on plasma tv
I think the graphics would look fine...you'll just have overlap, just as you would on a 17inch monitor with low res.
