PS2 in my own room for a change. Looks bloody amazing! The fact that I can quickly swap to my normal PC display to check email in the middle of a GTA game is simply awesome

This thing IS huge though...and not particularly light either. I had to displace my 204T to another desk because my desk was getting close to the rated weight...Imagine if this thing had been a CRT

Sweet setup Duke! You really play that close to such a big screen? I'd have to sit back...it must feel like the front row at the movies when your lady makes you late!!!

I have mine a bit further than he has because my desk is a bit "deeper"

Doesnt make a difference...still bloody huge! I have to move my head to read the screen...dont know if this is a good thing or not just yet...

Cant play games yet because my desktop is not yet complete.

Duke - turn off all the lights in the room, use a black background, what do you think about the evenness of the lighting?


[EDIT] LOL Picture in picture with NBF and GTA on the PS2 is just too funny [/EDIT]

Mild backlight bleed on the 4 corners mostly. Nothing awful but I just wanted to make sure it was not just my display.

Also - the remote is terrible Never had to exert so much force on a remote before...hopefully it will loosen up with use.

Apart from that - one helluva display!


Craig - desktop will be complete tomorrow. I have ALL the parts except the CPU (which is still in THIS laptop that I am using to browse the web) and the HEATSINK / FANS that are still in transit.

i'll check it out this weekend. And the remote is kinda sticky with the PC and TV buttons.

And Craig's right. You better get your @$$ back in CSS asap!

The seinheisser probably sounds better, and it costs a little less than 50.
