AW1Steve -> WITP AE on 60" widescreen TV? (8/20/2011 4:28:08 PM)

I've recently run into several on-line articles about using your BigAss TV with a laptop to make an UBER game console....Anyone done this? [&:][:)]



USSAmerica -> RE: WITP AE on 60" widescreen TV? (8/20/2011 5:29:48 PM)

I've done it with my 46" HDTV.  It's beautiful to see so much of the AE map at one time, and still be able to read what's on the screen. [8D]



oldman45 -> RE: WITP AE on 60" widescreen TV? (8/20/2011 7:42:21 PM)

I have been holding off buying one, I think I just found a reason. [:D]



AW1Steve -> RE: WITP AE on 60" widescreen TV? (8/20/2011 8:24:51 PM)

My old set died before I moved, and I really hate buying something that becomes obselete as soon as you get it, so I bought the biggest and most modern I could at the time. BTW, I think it might be 55". I need to remeasure. Not that it matters to me. I'm happy! [:D]

Have you considered one of these laptops?

that's impressive. Unfortunately I purchased a new laptop a couple of months ago. A couple of cords is well within my budget though.

What's strange is that stock Witp comes on my 32 HDTV but Storm over the Pacifc doesn't.

+1

Well, ok, mine isn't HD, but it still looks fine and I can see everything without squinting.

1920 x 1080 screen resolution.....just in a bigger size. My problem is that my old display cable is toast and I need to get a new one.

Hey Scott

Didn't your Dad bring a 60" screen with him?



LST Express -> RE: WITP AE on 60" widescreen TV? (8/21/2011 5:56:32 PM)

My wife would kill me if she caught me playing this game on the big screen![:(]

Most of modern TVs have standard monitor slot, you just put there cable, and can pin any PC. Wiring sound is somehow more complicated, but also doable.
I have permanently attached monitor cable in my TV, but the only game I have tried so far was MoO2 (and I think it have 800x600 resolution max).

The only problem, I can think of, is that the game have resolution set OVER maximum of HD, signal then get lost completely, and there is "no signal" sign on TV. Just reduce game resolution, and it should work fine.

Thanks! I'll try it! [&o]

Sorry if anyone has posted this...but it is glorious to hook it up to an HD TV... I just use a vga chord, nothing special... I do this when her royal highness is away of course...

Sound is easy - just use the headphone output and an adapter to convert it to 2 RCA plugs and away you go. That's what I do for an old laptop that we have hooked to the TV for Netflix.

Both this cord and the VGA ones should be available at places like Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc...


And now you have me thinking of running my turns on the big TV - not sure I can pry it away from my son though. And in a fight he (and his army of toy soldiers and action figures) always seem to beat me up...

Nice sword. I presume that one is a decoy and another is within reach?

There are about a dozen or so hung in the dining , living and game room. Only one is actually still sharp. And only I know which one![:D] For you JFB's, that's a IJA officers dress staff sword. It may have been sharp once (but I doubt it!) but it ain't now! [:D]



oldman45 -> RE: WITP AE on 60" widescreen TV? (8/22/2011 10:49:37 PM)

Ok, I am sold. Going to go HD tv shopping. [:)]

A lap Harp. Like the piano next to it , it belongs to my spouse. I don't play any instrument. She plays several.[:)]

I see the shielding on your EMP generator is still working. What's the over/under on how long that lasts? [:'(]

DOCUP -> RE: WITP AE on 60" widescreen TV? (8/22/2011 11:39:20 PM)

DA*N,  I want one.



USSAmerica -> RE: WITP AE on 60" widescreen TV? (8/23/2011 2:48:25 PM)

Steve, now try running AE in windowed mode, just under 1920 x 1080 resolution.  That is where you get to see a massive amount of the map at one time.  It's mind blowing.  [&o]
