[ORION]

OMG this looks crazy!!

[franky500]

i am planning on getting something like that next year... 42" is about ... what.. £1450 / $2800 at a rough guess (if u shop in the right place)

[Vendetta]

Wowowowow!!

[deggis]

*drool* That screen plus this: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=3547 would be some more *drool*

[JJ72]

Right, what you need now is just a surround sound system, a racing frame with frex Steering wheel + shifter + pedals then all of the above multiplied by 16 for a giant gang bang. :D

the tele actually cost £2200

im gunna hook my computer up 2 it one night :)

I had a nice Sony FW900 24" widescreen CRT about a month ago. I posted some screenshots of LFS on it elsewhere. Max res is 2048x1280 or 1920x1440. The monitor itself will go higher (2304x1440) but my video card won't! :)

It has since had some problems with suddenly going from perfect to super blurry in about a millisecond.

The image attached is a raw screen buffer dump compressed to jpeg at 2048x120 with 8x AA and 16x AF.

My 46" Plasma was £1200, and yes, LFS looks good on it, although for some reason its a little streched.

What resolution does that run at? My 22" (4:3) monitor runs upto 2048x1536, but it turns out that AA and AF turn off at any resolution above 1600x1200. :( So that is what I play LFS at, since it looks best. Anybody know a way to get around that? Running at 800x600 really does make everything look very PlayStationy (grainy/lack of detail).

Only running 0.3G? A bit ancient man.

[Forbin]

What card, Bob? As you can see in the screenshot I posted, AA and AF worked fine for me at 2048x1280 with my 6800GT 128MB.

[Tweaker]

Hey that is the screen my cousins have!!! Maybe I should head over there and play some with my laptop :D

Looks like fun ;)

But nothing beats a theatre sized white screen in an auditorium!! :D (did it at a LAN party)

Yesss I just got a 6600GT 128MB so hopefully it might look that good at a lower resolution :)

Mmmm I'm so excitied for my upgrade.

Anyway back on topic.
I envy you :thumb:


P.S. thanks for the new background Forbin :D

LOL that's for sure. A couple a years ago we used a projector of a friend of
mine and had a screen of I dunno...9'-10' across. LOL we improvised a dash
and used two csrs seats. It was cool. :)

Very nice! :D Santa's been a couple of days early?

6600GT AGP with 81.95 drivers.

I'm not too fussed though, since anything above 1600x1200 runs at 75Hz anyway, which is too flickery for me.

[(SaM)]

That's nothing! Haha. Me and my mates work in a theatre and it was the last day, so we decided to abuse our privileges and have a try at our theatre's 16 meters cinema screen + 12000Watts cinema sound system.
Oh boy, now that was a blast gaming on that thing.. now every screen looks tiny, haha.
Best thing was, I have access to the catering facilities at my theatre so we never had a thirsty or hungry moment while playing!

[ChristijaNL]

I was wondering, is it an advantage in terms of speed driving with a bigger screen, or just more fun? And lets say u wanna become hotlap leader, can u do this with average specs,steer,pedals and ofcourse lots of talent...

I dont have the illusion i can, but just wondering...

[Vain]

When you are nearly blind and can't distinguish the cars from the track on a 15" screen you might want a bigger one. Otherwise the screensize only makes playing more fun/immersive and you can increase the aspect ratio, which gives you a better overview of the car (and helps watching people who try to overtake you).

Yeah, I know what you mean. Fortunately my Sony 24" runs (ran) 2048x1280 @ 85HZ. :D

It's getting repaired at the moment. With any luck I should be getting it back shortly after the spring semester starts in late January.

[Vendetta]

My 19" monitor can run up to 1280x1024, but i have a good video card to make up for that :)

Odd how aa and af dont effect what you see in the mirror :(
This is with full AA and AF. Maybe if im lucky one day, ill get a larger monitor. But right now, this 19" (which is reasonably large) is fine :)

[XCNuse]

no, it does ven, i guess scawen made the mirror low resolution like that for the sake of .. more FPS, which makes since, dont really need such a high quality mirror

(you can see the AA working in the mirrors though, but its hard since the mirrors already are quite blurry)
