Where from did you get that TV? I'm still lookin'!

Post by **MinisterofDOOM** » Tue Sep 08, 2009 8:47 pm

I got it at best buy. There are a lot of 32'' TVs in the ~$380 range there. This one was an extra step down at $330.

Is that TV wall mountable?

Most of the connections are in the center of the rear and face back, so you can't mount it flush to the wall.

That keyboard is nice for media stuff, but this PC will also be used for couch gaming (it's not that old, and will still play a lot of new games). Logitech will still provide my control solutions, though. I'm probably going to get the MX Air Laser/Gyro mouse. It works on a desk as a laser mouse or in the air as a gyro mouse and has onboard media controls. Then I'll just grab a cheap Logi wireless keyboard and call it a day.

Its an old picture, so some components have changed, but the major parts are still the same.

Nice too, and what size is that one? I had finally decided to get the 32" HDTV that I was scoping but after going back through this thread and seeing that most people have 40" TV's or above I'm feeling inadequate so I'm gonna upgrade to the 40" too! ...or maybe not I just can't decide.

I have a 32 - I think it's kinda like perfect size for gaming.

Though I'm eyeing a 46" Samsung LED...

Its a 46" DLP. I got it on a Black Friday sale super cheap like 4 years ago. Size of TV is not important in that of itself. You want to consider how far you'll be sitting from the TV. Too big/too close and you won't be able to take in the whole screen at once.

Yeah, I was thinking about that the other day. I'm gonna be about 6' to 8' away so a 32" TV would be fine for me yes?!

Post by **marlin29311** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 7:52 am

At 8' you might want to look a little larger than 32....I play from a distance of about 4-5 feet, and the 32 is perfect...on my brother's side of the basement, he plays at about 8 feet, and he's using a 46" which seems to fit really well, though it would certianly work if it was smaller.

Thanks for all the input guys, I finally made a decision and bought a 32" HDTV. Now I'm thinking about upgrading my computer monitor because, even after I buy a console, PC gaming will still be my number one source of gaming.

Man, I wish I'd taken shots of my old rig.

Now it's all in boxes. I'm working on getting stuff together in the living room, and it'll be nice hardware, but not a real "game cave" like what I used to have.

Man Dell was running a deal on some of their larger monitors today so I snatched one up right quick so now I'm going from a miniscule 17" to a 23"...not much of a difference TV wise but computer monitor wise it should be yes?

That's a HUGE difference with monitors. In my mind, 24'' is the sweet spot for PC monitors, so you're right on the money there.
