Pink_Saber Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 The question really is "can my computer use this TV as a monitor?" The answer isn't related to the game in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmartelli Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 The question really is "can my computer use this TV as a monitor?" The answer isn't related to the game in any way. Well yea my question in reality was basically whether or not my video card and pc would be powerful enough to run a game like SwtoR on a 1080p Tv. It is hdmi supported and it is related to the game in the lines that the main reason i want to know is solely to play this game on the TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syylara Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) TVs have crap resolutions, so yeah, it'll run fine. 1080 is 1080. You do know there is almost no difference between a monitor and a TV these days, right? Basically a TV just has a remote, more menu options and a channel tuner. Display-wise, however, they are the same thing. A digital receiver is essentially just a very stripped down computer.

Quinlynn Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 As long as your vid card support 1920 x 1080 resolution, AKA 1080p, then sure. However do not use HDMI as the image will not be as clear as it could be. Use a VGA cable with an Audio connection or use the DisplayPort connection if you have one. I use my 55" Samsung like this sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Sookie Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 If you pc can run the game at 1080p on a monitor i can run it on any size TV. I play on a 60" for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either you can use a TV as a monitor, or you can't. Again, whether you can do that or not has nothing to do with the game. I'm not trying to accuse you of being off-topic or anything (though, well, you are, but that wasn't the point), just saying that the only thing that's important here is whether your video card supports an output format that's compatible with your TV.

Ruuprect Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I use my 47" Vizio all the time to play. It depends on your video card. Also the picture is not as good as a monitor, I have to mess with the color and brightness to get it to look right then change it back when I watch TV. It will only work if you duplicate your monitor and not as a dual monitopr setup. When I switch it to dual monitor it gets really choppy and does not work well. You may be able to do dual with a really nice high end card though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runback Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I play SWTOR on a 22" monitor, 40" HDTV, and a 120" screen from my projector....shouldnt be a problem if your pc can handle that game at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink_Saber Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Wat? You'd rather use VGA than HDMI?! Oh, I see your problem :9. I still don't. I have no idea why someone would recommend using a VGA cable over HDMI. That makes no sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingicewind Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Its a 1080p tv no doubt, which is 1920x1080 res no matter the size of the screen. Your 47" tv would work the same as my 24" 1080p monitor I use in my room. Although, the bigger the screen the more pixelated it can be. So you are going to have to sit back farther when you play. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodAres Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 No, I doubt you could run it. I wouldn't even try. Don't worry about it. You see, your graphics card lacks the bits to interface with the TVs bits. Computers use bits that are mapped to 0 and 1. Whereas a TV uses bits that are mapped to 1 and 2. Attempting to connect your graphics card to the TV would cause the bits to collide in unexpected ways. In fact, the collision could cause physical ramifications. If you are going to attempt it, then for god's sake, have a fire extinguisher on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
