Running poker on 73" sony hdtv?

[BUD]

what would the requirements be for doing this? is there something i need in acomputer and or for the tv. i am looking to play from my couch w a wireless trackball. my mind says this is the ideal setup. anyone have any experience comments or suggestions. how about how many games could one display and still see from 12' away?
thanx

It probably doesn't do 1600x1200, so it's not the ideal setup for multi-tabling.

Sounds doable, but it'd probably be better if it was one of those monitor/TV type tv's. Which it may be, I don't know.

You'll need to have a video card with TV Output for starters though. And I've never had a wireless mouse before, but the range will be a factor between your couch and computer too.

I gave my hunch that this wouldn't be that hot over in the Zoo.

I neglected to mention though:


73" HDTV!?!?!?
holy-crap!! I want to watch the game (doesn't matter what game...any game will do) at your house.
This must be pretty awesome. $3k or $4k or so?? (I honestly have no idea how much these things run...just guessing).


If you CAN get it to even play 2 tables I think that would be pretty cool. With the HDTV resolution maybe it would be possible.

Or you could at least try the mini-view from UB. The ability to play on this humungo-setup from your couch, if it works, would be worth having to limit yourself to a non-party site.


If I had this set-up I would invite all my friends over and say "Look at this. Not only is it cool looking...but it's how I make my freakin' income. Suck on THAT!!!"


Get back to us if you get it to work and how you like it.
