At 1080p it looks pretty awful unless you can view it from a good distance then it's only somewhat awful.

If you can run at 4k then it's generally pretty good looking.

I use one 24" pc monitor (one day I will get around to buying a 27" monitor) as I do not have have the intellectual bandwidth to manage more than one screen.

This is not a signature.

Hey,

Just curious, anyone here play eve on a TV instead of a computer screen?


I just got flamed for 'showing off' because of my rig.

Truth is, instead of buying 2x Computer Screen I decided to go with one 55" + 2x 30" flat TV. Bottom line it costed me only 100$ more.

I got great framerate, flat screen now have 'computer mode" you can activate, zero lag, Eve is just incredibly immersive and gorgeous on such a setup. Actually, any game is.


So I was curious, people spent hundreds of dollars in plex, thousand in rig and video card. What screen you plug on such computer?

Q: How many of you DO play on a TV screen?

That is an excellent setup. People whine because they are extremely jealous. I'm sitting on 13 PC's at home, 7 of them very high end running multiple 30 Inch monitors. The jealous can suck it up...

That means that 30" monitors cant use a standard DVI port as they don't have sufficient bandwidth so what tends (tended) to be the case is that a graphics card came with one dual link capable DVI port and one standard DVI port.

Yes and you have to make sure the cable is also rated as Dual Link. A "regular" cable on a Dual Link DVI port won't display anything, just a black screen...

seeing all my tv's are plasma i'll stick to using my IPS monitors for gaming, plasma gives very nice colours for watching tv but for gaming its not really nice

Right now I play it on a 17" laptop screen. It's an upgrade from the 13" MacBook I used to play it on. One day I'll be able to afford a dual monitor desktop.

Both. I dual-monitor a single client, so I have heaps of space to organise all my intel. My ship, HUD, notification feed and targets are on my left monitor, a 32" LCD television, and various chat windows, overview, people&places combined with fleet, drone window combined with fleet watchlist, dscan window and inventory window persistently open on the right monitor, a 24" ASUS HDMI LCD. It makes frapsing my PVP and cropping the image to cut out secret stuff much easier. All you see in that vid is what I see on my left monitor.


I Thought you were leaving. Have you changed your mind. Good video though.
