April 28, 201214 yr I made a big mistake this afternoon. I connected my 46" HD Sony tv to my FSX pc and loaded the NGX. OMG! I need another tv now. For my pc. The tv has the same resolution as my 27" monitor and there is a slight lack of sharpness. Now 46 inches is a little over kill for a desk I know, but now I have to start saving for a 40 inch screen tv to mount to the wall behind the desk. Damn next I'm gonna want to drop some serious coin and build a flight deck in the spare bedroom. :D Steve Reinard P8P67 Pro, i72600k @ 4.9(turbo), XSPC Rasa 750 RS360 Liquid Cooling, Thermaltake 850w PS, 16gb Crucial Vengance 1600mhz, EVGA GTX580 3gb
April 28, 201214 yr What you really need is triplehead2go or 2 580's in sli, 3 40" tv's, trackir and a $50 gt520 powering the biggest touchscreen monitor you can find. That'll net you a roughly 9 foot wide vc. That's what I have, only the monitors are 21" & the touchscreen is 23" Kenneth Weir My Saitek yoke mod i7 2600k @ 4.7 8GB Gskill CAS7 2x GTX580 SLI Surround + GT520 Accessory Win7x64

The average simmer here seems to barely afford an upgrade from FS9 to FSX lol. By your logic, what I really need is a full motion Level-D sim in my apartment that runs P3D, all of PMDG's products, and connects to VATSIM. Hey if you're gonna spend a truckload of cash, might as well go all out! AJ Pongress

April 28, 201214 yr Buy a benq 630 short throw projector, a totally stunning immersion with crystal clear image. It fils a full projection screen at 6ft!!! you will never ever go back to a monitor or tv unless you go triple monitors. I agree projectors are great for FSX if you have the room for them. Mine displays a 9ft widescreen (actually a wall). I find it hard to view normal TV's or monitors anymore. Thanks Tom My Youtube Videos! http://www.youtube.com/user/tf51d
April 28, 201214 yr I agree projectors are great for FSX if you have the room for them. Mine displays a 9ft widescreen (actually a wall). I find it hard to view normal TV's or monitors anymore. projectors have made big advances in technology althought the perception is the same as 10 years ago I can turn my projector off instantly and lamp cools down in 4 miutes lamp life has increased a lot to 4000hours and replacement $190 short throw is the way to go, Im typing this in a lazy boy recliner with the projector on a coffee table next to me and my feet are 4 ft from the projector (100") the joystick on my right and the throttles to my left. can fly 8hour leg comfortably :Hypnotized: Rex clouds are amazing on the big screen ZORAN

April 28, 201214 yr I tried something like that once with my Mitsubishi TV and found that the cable management was a nightmare. Plus, my wife came home from work at the moment I booted up FSX and now thinks I have completely lost my mind. :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk William Sequeira
April 28, 201214 yr No biggie, my wife has known that for a long time Kenneth Weir My Saitek yoke mod i7 2600k @ 4.7 8GB Gskill CAS7 2x GTX580 SLI Surround + GT520 Accessory Win7x64
April 28, 201214 yr Hahaha I did the same thing! I'm running fsx on my hp 8460, and the screen is a little small. So I plugged it into my 32" samsung and plopped it on the desk. Now I sit on my chair to watch tv. The best part is I now have my laptop as an extended desktop for EFB stuff! Dave Swanson
