Hey,
Just curious, anyone here play eve on a TV instead of a computer screen?
I just got flamed for 'showing off' because of my rig.
Truth is, instead of buying 2x Computer Screen I decided to go with one 55" + 2x 30" flat TV. Bottom line it costed me only 100$ more.
I got great framerate, flat screen now have 'computer mode" you can activate, zero lag, Eve is just incredibly immersive and gorgeous on such a setup. Actually, any game is.
So I was curious, people spent hundreds of dollars in plex, thousand in rig and video card. What screen you plug on such computer?
Q: How many of you DO play on a TV screen? |

Nothing wrong with a TV if all you do is Netflix and games.
I need the color balance and high resolution of my three twenty seven inch monitors for my game modding and Photoshop work texturing models.
Though I have to admit that it does look good on a big screen from what I've seen in pictures.

I don't, mainly because they don't offer nearly enough screen real-estate.
Occasionally, I run EVE on my TV-connected computer just to show the game off to visitors (and it looks great when doing that), but for actually playing the game? Ugh, no. Too restricted.

Definitely a computer monitor (27"). I know some TVs can make good monitors, but I tried mine once and it looked awful. |

When did General Discussion turn into Out of POD Experience?
But, to answer OP. Depends on my mood and alcohol level...
Sober/bored = HTPC on TV
Sober/not bored = Gaming PC
Drunk/bored = GTA V

Stargates aren't located within POS shields. The stargate itself and everyone around it is vulnerable to attack. So why is a Titan located within a POS shield when a Jump Portal is activated? The Titans should not be allowed complete safety! |

Dynamite is overrated...
Actually, you don't really need anything...............just as long as the barrel is made of C-4!

I have used my Laptop and 46" Full HD Samsung TV to multi box before, however I found that the Laptop had a higher resolution than the TV, So I ended up putting my Boosting toon on the TV that was doing nothing and the character that I was chatting and actually using on the Laptop, despite it being smaller(but higher resolution and hence easier to read text).
The above being said I normally play on my Desktop with Quad 24" LCD Monitors, on a stand in a 2x2 grid. |

True that, I would never do Photoshop work on that. It's indeed netflix and gaming.

Ohhh, that's a really nice setup. You do day trading on that or video editing or it's purely for eve online? What combat fleet did you built with that setup because you still divided your click rate between 4 ship?
Do you use passive tanking on the 3 other screen and more aggressive fitting on your main char?
Anyone else made a combat fleet with triple or more screen? |

I run my PC through my TV on occasions, tried EVE on it a few times, didn't care for it much. Only use the PC/TV connection when I am watching a movie from some source. |

Both. I dual-monitor a single client, so I have heaps of space to organise all my intel. My ship, HUD, notification feed and targets are on my left monitor, a 32" LCD television, and various chat windows, overview, people&places combined with fleet, drone window combined with fleet watchlist, dscan window and inventory window persistently open on the right monitor, a 24" ASUS HDMI LCD. It makes frapsing my PVP and cropping the image to cut out secret stuff much easier. All you see in that vid is what I see on my left monitor.
You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

Something about using a TV as a computer monitor just makes me think of my C64 days.
Sure, it's fun and all that, but it just doesn't have the same feel as using a real monitor.
Surrender is still your slightly less painful option. |

Thats because of some conversions the TV has to do to display the pic. If set up correctly it'll look as good as a monitor. Or there is a software program you can download to adjust the input before it gets to the TV so its in the native input the TV understands.
Forgot the name of the software but its free. |

I only use my TV for gaming when the game has controller support. I find it unwieldy to comfortably use my keyboard and mouse in front of the TV, so no EVE.
I just undocked for the first time and someone challenged me to a duel. Wat do?

I have 2 pc's running 2*21 and 22 inch portrait or landscape monitors. With EvE in windows mode and the screens turned to portrait I can effectivly run 8 clients from seperate folders.
I actually have a Tv somewhere which has a xbox connected to it 
Quoting "you will die" in EvE is fail
Chars dont die in EvE. Unless you have a heart attack eek.
CCP Huggin and Grimmi thanks a bunch for your typical information of nowt.

Will be running eve on both soon. Currently my monitor, and in a few weeks I'll get my new 55" TV,
to which I'll be able to stream via wireless HDMI, so I can relocate to my couch with my wireless mouse,
keyboard and headset. It will be glorious. |

I use the laptopscreen unless there is something big going on like the fight last monday , then i switch to my new big tv screen because you don't need a fast response time thanks to tidi then and it looks SO much better.

Actually did do that a few times but it's just prettier on a nice bigscreen or even a 17" laptop then using the beamer.At a certain point it can get 'too big'

I use proper high resolution displays for EVE but I know some people that use TVs like you do. I can't handle 1080p resolution, since I run at 2x that number on the least capable of my displays.

Which one do you use then? The decent 1080p+ LED projectors are $2000+. |
