My new game console is my old PC.

After our little trip to Costco last week, and subsequent new HDTV purchase, my media room has gotten a whole lot more awesome. We moved the old 36″ HD television into my lair, and was promptly hooked up to the Xbox. But I went a step further and done away with my LCD monitor, hooking-up my PC directly to the television, since it’s pretty much a large monitor anyways.

I don’t know why, but I guess I expected problems, however it worked out pretty well. I used the DVI input on the TV and then matched the screen resolution (the XFI sound card also plugged directly into the TV). I chucked out my old peripherals and got a wireless keyboard and mouse, so I can surf the net and play online games from my recliner. Also, I was able to tweak the Windows settings and game settings so the the fonts are large and readable from across the room. After sitting in my room playing PC games on my television today I realized, I’m never gonna sit at a home computer desk ever again.
