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.

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. |

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? |

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.

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.

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 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.

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+. |

Yes 1080P sucks. I'm running multiple 30 Inch Monitors at 2560 x 1600. EVE looks spectacular. Gonna go 4K but I want to wait until there is a good monitor with only 1 panel. The new ASUS is very nice but has 2 panels side by side. They "say" that doesn't make a difference but for $3500 bucks I wanna be sure... |

True that, I think a lot of people don't realized many TV screen have surpassed Computer Screen in terms of resolution.
I honestly don't see why I would go back to a computer screen. I tested the 2560 x 1600 on a 30" and it was insane. Blast off even my Apple Cinema Display. Looking forward to see my rig upgraded with 2x 30" @ 2560 x 1600 and adding a 55" @ 4k resolution - 3840 x 2160 or even 5120 x 3200. At that stage, I am afraid the bottleneck will be the video card. (And of course the budget, but wait 2 years and they going to be at 600$)
With the new 'pc mode' features on most tv, there is zero lag. Computer Screen and TV Screen market will clearly merged.
Only thing I can image for the computer screen market is the curved shape 180 degrees screen that is not interesting for a TV, or the office market that required high end calibration. (After Effect, InDesign, Maya, that kind of stuff) |

(Presuming we are excluding 4k.)
I don't think so, a 55" TV provides the same constrained image as a 30" TV which allows a much worse image than a 30" monitor, it is chalk and cheese.
Relatively small monitors keep up with TV's with ease. If your going to sit close to the screen then it makes a big difference, a 1080 HD TV spreads the pixels too thinly for there to be any gain in sitting near it - you would effectively see a lot of empty space. Sitting further away the TV comes into its own as the density of the pixels in a monitor is too high for the detail to be seen from a distance. The DPI and the distance you sit from the screen should be a clever ratio that deserves to be in this thread somewhere.
The pic of the op's log in screen is useful for comparison, a 30" monitor (2560x1600) give a 2" gap between the moon and the left of the character selection box (similar difference to top and bottom) over the large TV (1920x1080?). Not a massive difference (clearly the monitor is showing a bigger picture than the TV) but just as you can see far more of the log in screen you don't have issues like the market window blocking out the sun etc. The smaller TV's shown (720?) are of such low resolution that a 30" monitor could replace them both without altering the amount of information displayed. Assuming you were sitting close of course, if you're walking around the room etc. then the TV set up would be easier to keep an eye on.

No sadly this setup isnt 4k. Right now my 30" are 1360 x 768, they do support 1920 x 1080 but I run 3x screen on 1 GTX 570 that (first) should not be able to do triple monitor. (Read everywhere, they should support only 2 monitor) My third monitor is plug via a usb 3 to hdmi link, but the GeForces still take it and render on all screen.
When I upgrade the 30" to 1920 x 1080, the picutre is obviously quite crisp, but nothing compare to the 2560 x 1600 I tested.
As for the 55", it is 1920 x 1080 and indeed, a little bit more blurry but with all the picture ajustement option, i honestly find it quite sharp.
Again, until I can afford the 4k version. That will change the game big time. At those resolution, it's the OS font and configuration that is not ready for such screen. Did you saw windows 8 on 4k resolution? |

Without heading off into research land and with a sense that I will be corrected. 1920x1080 is half (roughly) the pixels of 2560x1600. That means that 30" monitors cant use a standard DVI port as they don't have sufficient bandwidth so what tends (tended) to be the case is that a graphics card came with one dual link capable DVI port and one standard DVI port. That meant that a card had (in theory) sufficient bandwidth for three 1920x1080 displays - I never looked into whether it was possible to access that potential. |

Nothing wrong with playing on TV if you fell comfortable, got enough fps, sharp scren and resolotiun.
In future i plan to play on ultra wide lcd, 21:9 ratio somthing betwen 27-32'
Stuf on big screns looks cool, but when we talking about long therm gaming, middle size scren are best for playing, having scren monster close to eyes is bad idea, you lose focus and everything looks to big, even while using 24' monitor somtime i neeed to push it back because if to close thing looks so big and gaming is less efficient.
If it bleed we can kill it. |

That's a nice setup you have there, I like the ambience and TV screen is a good idea.
But THIS beats almost any EVE gaming setup, I guessGǪ  |

Ughhh!...... how can your eyes not hurt after spinning in space with that response time?
I cheap TV is not meant to handle that fast changing image of a computer game, hence there are "gaming monitors", not "TV one size fits all". A quality TV with "sports mode".... maybe, but that would cost quite a bit more |

At the moment I'm using a single 32 inch 1920x1080 60 Hz CCFL Backlit LCD TV through HDMI, with a Radeon 7850.
I game on the couch, sat next to the Mrs, who also PC games from the couch.
Despite upping the font sizes, GUI scale and so on, the text is a bit small, and I'm unwilling to drop the resolution. I'm thinking about either getting a bigger TV, or maybe getting a monitor and somehow mounting that pretty close.
I have a desk I could sit at with a 1080P monitor, but what can I say - that would mean moving further away from my lady - she would be unwilling to accept such a compromise! My ideal/realistic setup would be triple 1080P monitors at a close enough distance, but I'm unsure how I'd feel about the bezels. |

Actually, in "those days", a CRT (0 response time) was superior in every way (besides portability), and i've had my CRT till about 2 months ago :P |

I was playing on two 23" NEC EA231WMi (1920x1080). One character per screen if using both, I rarely stretched one window out across both screens. One screen died recently though and I replaced it with a 27" Dell U2713HM (2560x1440). The extra resolution is very nice for EVE's mess of UI windows I usually have open. Also a nice improvement for working in photoshop.
4k monitors sound niiiice... But too pricy unless you settle for a TN panel. Bleh. |

I play on a monitor because playing on a large TV sucks.
low resolution + large screen area = huge pixels. TVs have minimum viewing distances because the pixel sizes are so large.
I'd rather play high resolution on a smaller screen area so everything is sharper.
EDIT : I don't like playing stretched across screens because the bezels annoy the poop out of me. |

As noted before CRT was superior in those days..
Hell in my day CGA was a luxury with most running variations of monochrome. I had an all in one monochrome green 8086 that was the bomb diggity decades before the imac popularized the all in one. |

At 1080p it looks pretty awful unless you can view it from a good distance then it's only somewhat awful.
If you can run at 4k then it's generally pretty good looking. |
