How I play (on the TV)

bigwave · #1 09-29-2009, 06:13 PM

I set this up over the weekend, and it works well. Wireless keyboard and mouse, HDMI to the TV, which is a 42" LCD screen.

It certainly doesn't help me fly better, I still smack walls, even though they are huge. Sorry it's not an action shot, but if I would crash if I tried to take a picture while I flew!

That said it works well, and I had a lot of fun playing this weekend with several of you (especially Kronoes, Juizzz and some AM members).

Cute kid!

I play in windowed mode only.

I like the full screen mode, it seems a little more immersive to me.

The PC is actually hidden behind the pictures of my little boy there. That way my wife doesn't complain about me cluttering the living room with computer stuff!

I tried playing on my 40 inch TV the other day and I did noticeably worse. There is a delay for me that's not there with the normal computer. It was bizarre. =X

I couldn't handle this setup just because lately, altitude and football are always on at the same time for me.

I can set this up if I want to, and it works rather fine with me.

I heard some TVs give off some input lag though.

I don't notice any lag from the TV. Everything does seem noticeably slower, but I think that is just because the scale is huge.

I had been getting lag from the wireless router I had, but after replacing that on Friday, I had a lag free weekend!
