Game on your TV or Screen?

Post by StarBound »

Maybe on of the mods or admins can add a pole since I couldn't find it.

Do you play games using your TV/HDTV or your screen?

I think the mods and admins are a bit busy...

But I'll help.

Which type of pole did you have in mind?

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

Just:
I game on my TV
I game on my PC screen.

Reason is last night I talked to a friend and he uses 2 wireless xbox controllers for windows and plays games on his TV. Wondering if ppl with families get a pc then play games on the TV instead of a desktop screen.

^^ Actually, I know someone who hooks up her PC to her 40" LCD TV via HDMI and plays Skyrim on that. (Obviously, sitting back a fair distance from the thing...)

And having seen it for myself, I'm seriously considering doing the same. :P

I've considered trying it out before. In fact, I'm going to try it out tonight. :P

FPS and strategy games are played on a PC monitor because your mouse and keyboard are close. But I have noticed that as soon as a game plays with a gamepad people start moving over to the TV especially when you have 2 wireless controllers and play split screen stuff. Racing games, top-down shooters ect.

I play both on the TV screen and on the PC monitor - but spend most of the time at my desk.
