CCP, please don't drag me across the coals for this.
I needed something with AWESOME colour and AWESOME movement to demo on our televisions. I needed something a little bit different that would make people say "Hey whats this"
So, what else was I gonna use?
Linkage
EVE trailers, Dominon, Apocrypha, Quantum Rise, Empyrean Age, Coronation of Empress Jamyl, Butterfly Effect etc.
Sales numbers have jumped since I started pushing this on the televisions and keeping the volume cranked.
40 televisions from 15" to 58" all feeding from the same USB stick, 20 surround sound systems all pumping delicious, delicious EVE.
The look of wonderment on peoples faces is absolutely awesome. I'm not sure if CCP frowns upon using their trailers in such a way but its nearly the best way to show off a television in terms of movement and colour.
I think before my days are done, I want to be a fisherman. |

High quality tv's are the new monitors. Hook one of them up to a laptop and run the internet and watch people stand around it and say "thats what a computer looks like on a quality hd tv?! I'll take two plx!"

Not mad cash per se as it all goes to corporate but its been drawing more people in and perhaps getting EVE some new players as well.
CCP might want me to not do this though.

I would hardly think ccp would pass up free advertising especially in the mens toy stores where eves prime demographic lurks..

Edited by: Chaos Incarnate on 24/12/2009 08:44:55 Free advertising is good, I would hope they won't complain
Heck, I'd imagine your corporate whatever would be more annoyed at you that CCP isn't paying them to stick stuff on the TVs _____________________

Yeah sorry about the picture quality decided to just snap a few pictures on the cell today.
Eh I don't think corporate would mind all that much, it makes our televisions live up to their full potential.
Playing things from a USB stick is a pain in the butt though as theres no way to make them auto-repeat so when the trailers finish I gotta replay them again but c'est la vie.
When Blu-Ray burners come down in price I'll burn some fraps of things to put on the screens.
If you REALLY want to see beautiful colour on a plasma some of the backgrounds in EVE are just awe-inspiring.. there's a scene in the Dominion trailer where "Hammer" is zipping onto the field and the ships all dark with lights on it and its backed up by red space.. absolutely stunning seen at a contrast ratio of 2 million to 1.
It used to be our main questions were "What is the difference between LCD and plasma?" now its "What are you playing on these televisions?"
It owns.

I hear that they show programmes six months too late, and that the picture often slows down or freezes when there's a lot of movement on the screen

Actually, my TV does that when watching MPEG4-vids from USB.
As for EVE being an excellent way to show off image quality: Indeed it is! I did the same thing to show off when I bought my two 23" screens (which both have better image quality than the previously mentioned TV).

Yep. I keep trying to explain how amazing my new Samsung 60" LED is to my friends but they just don't get it until they come over and see it for themselves. I have a broom on hand to remove their jaws from my floor. -- Bellum Eternus Inveniam viam aut faciam.
