Anyone fly using their TV...

Postby flyinjoe » Tue Nov 27, 2007 8:55 pm

I've got a 32" LCD TV in the room with my computer and I was thinking of getting a 15' DVI/HDMI cable to connect my TV to my computer to see what FSX looks like.  I think if I use an HDMI connection, I can use a 1360 x 768 resolution on the TV which is pretty good.

Does anyone use their LCD TV to fly FSX via an HDMI cable?  Is their any performance loss doing it compared to using your monitor?

Just curious before I try it,

I used to hook up my laptop using a S-video, it didn't look that great, but I was playing company of heroes on a med-low.

I just bought a 42inch LCD and am thinking about the same thing.

I have tried flying FS using a projector, and it worked pretty well.  Nothing like Flight sim on a 8x10 wall

I had a 27" LCD TV I ran at 1024x768. The sim actually did not look that bad.

I run mine on a 46" lcd tv using a normal monitor cable, not necessarily a HDMI cable. (or is there a difference?)
