wolfy42 04/17/21 3:07:06 AM #6:	I did it for the longest time but eventually my laptop started to crash when it was hooked up to the tv (think it was overheating). But yeah I have a 4k one as well and the resolution is really good on it, pretty much the easiest way for me to read anything now adays. I highly recommend it if your comp can handle it. --- Tacobot 3000 "Saving the world from not having tacos." Friends don't make their friends die Hanz.

Dikitain 04/17/21 12:44:37 PM #8:	Been doing it for 12 years, would never go back to using a monitor and desk setup. You are limited to 60 FPS, but I don't really consider that a downside when you can play games on a 65" television. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!

captpackrat 04/17/21 4:58:31 PM #10:	My SO used a 55" TV as his computer monitor, both for games and for regular computer stuff. I've kind of thought of doing that myself, using a 55" 4K TV (3840x2160) instead of my current two 27" 1080p monitors (3840x1080 total) --- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, Minutus carborata descendum pantorum. <cite>captpackrat posted [p:952941362] in Thinking a...

Captain_Drek 04/17/21 9:47:25 PM #11:	I can't imagine that. I like sitting at a standard computer desk, and I just use dual 25" monitors that I switch between my rig I built and my work laptop with a kvm switch. Going to 32" or larger would be hell to me. <cite>Captain_Drek posted [p:952949986] in Thinking a... [t:79409018]...</cite> <quote>I can't imagine that.
