I would personally keep them separate. TV is for TV PC is for PC. There are too many tradeoffs when trying to combine the two.
Getting your downloaded por....uh videos to the TV is what you need to figure out.
As mentioned chromecast would work, but if your PC is close enough running a cable is doable.
Eh, no.Quote:

This would be a wall mounted computer monitor in my man cave. :) Albeit set up like a home theater with 5.1 sound system etc.
Well in that case you should look for a large 2k monitor rather than a smallish 1080p TV. 1080p is ok for a tv but horrible for a PC monitor. My cellphone has a 1080p screen and its only 3".Quote:

Only way 1080p will cut it is if you run media center software instead of the normal desktop. XBMC works good.
Bullshit. 1080p TV* is perfectly fine for a monitor.
* OK maybe not on big 50inch + tv's.
what quality video stream ? so much interference now in the 2.4 GHz spaceQuote:

Limited to 720p which is OK for standard TV and movie rips.Quote:

Thanks for all the replies. :)
Despite the nice sounding idea of having a wall mounted 7000 inch flatscreen TV as a monitor, I decided to go for an actual real monitor and not a TV.
Despite a 40" Samsung LED TV being cheaper, I went for a 27" LED monitor and DVI cable.
Current monitor is 21.5" and as it won't be much farther away (desk is being replaced with coffee table, chair being replaced with sofa, PPI would go from:
21.5" 102.5
27" 81.6
40" 55.1
Easily and cheaply upgraded in the future anyway if it doesn't cut it size wise.
:spin:

You will also need these!Quote:

Picture is 3 metres wide by 1.5 metres high

comes to approximately
1.2 mm width and height for each pixel
or 16 ppi in mobile money
But I am sitting 4 metres away so I would need to borrow your binoculars to see the pixels!
I think you should move back another 1.4 meters, or get a smaller screen to increase the sharpness.
Is This Retina? - DPI/PPI Display Calculator
Measured up here and eye to screen is about 95cm, and with it mounted to the wall behind will be about an extra 14cm minus the mount and body, so about 105cm, plus more when computer chair is changed for a sofa.
Calculates as becoming retina at 107cm distance, which seems about right.
Good choice. Regular HDTV's suck ass as computer monitors.:)Quote:
