FSX on 32 " LCD TV

Postby Thai09 » Fri Dec 04, 2009 2:19 am

Need a bigger screen instead of my 19" LG.

Anyone here have expirince in show FSX on a big 32" LCD TV?

Looked at some Samsung and Panasonic with res. 1366 x 708 I think, they are cheap, but I'm not sure if this is ok for FSX...

Multi-display I wont do, Win 7 not support this...

It should work fine. The resolution is 1366x768. Get a 1080 model so it's not as grainy.

I use a 32" Sanyo 720 for my left outside view, but it could be better with a 1080. You probably won't be sitting 15" from it though.

I'm upgrading after the Christmas season.

Great! Yes, I'll go for a 1080.

Do you connect with VGA? If yes, this same quality as DVI or HDMI?

How close do you sit to it?

PS: I just found out about your 727 cockpit, awsome!

I have the option of HDMI but have not used it yet. It's connected VGA.

It's about 15"-18" from my left.

I've been Googlin' VGA, DVI, HDMI and its confusing must say!

Some ppl get better perform with VGA. Others cannot connect from DVI to HDMI, etc. etc.

I have this card, do you think can connect via the round HDMI output to the left?

Oh hey that's the same card I have, but my build isn't finished so I haven't used it yet. Is it pretty good? I know it's a little off topic...

You will need an adapter to use the S-Video output for HDMI. After reading the material, I don't think it's included.

Yep, it's a verygood medium card and excellent overclocker!

I run it 765 / 1920 / 1065 - temps around 50 C.

Thanks for that feedback on a 9600GT. No one I knew had one and I have been wondering how they are, thanks!
