Q. I have been wanting to setup 3 HDTV's for an ultimate gaming experience. In the past, I had a dual monitor setup and I found the bezel being in the middle a bit annoying. My idea is to have one main HDTV and two side HDTVs as peripherals to the eye. In regards to PC hardware, how can this gaming system be built? What kind of motherboard, video card, or other hardware do i need to build this? Any experiences in gaming with 3 displays? I need a clue on this project. I have been wondering about this setup for some time. Can anyone tell me?
A. the only way i think this could work is with two or more graphics cards. one running two monitors and the other running the 3rd.
What is the best kind of TV to get for gaming?
Q. I have an Xbox 360 and a regular tv juust isnt cutting it graphic wise. What kind of TV will really bring out what the 360 has to offer. HD, LCD, LCD HDTV, Plasma, digital, or any other kind. Help please. I just want something that will make my games look like they are supposed look. B/c right now its ok, but words are blurry and graphics arent very good with my regular TV.
A. Well, you know you want to go with an HDTV, thats good. The question is what technology you want to go with. There is rear projection, DLP, LCD and Plasma. You said you were playing games, so image burn-in is probably going to be a big problem for you. You will have a score or a map in the corner of your screen constantly, which isn't good for some types of tv's.
Rear projection is the older style tv's that are normally 2-3 feet deep and sit on the floor. They are inexpensive, but HUGE.
DLP is a newer technology. It isn't quite as large as a rear projection tv, but they surely aren't flat. The nice thing about a DLP is, it is immune to image burn in.
LCD is also a newer technology. It is a flat panel technology that is wall mountable. It is just about as prone to burn in as your average CRT.
Plasma is also a newer technology that has come a long way. Plasma's are also wall mountable. The problem with plasma is it is extremely prone to burn in. If you are going to be playing games on it a lot, that isn't good for a plasma. Are you constantly going to be playing games for 6 hours at a time, or do you play it for an hour at a time then go do something else? That is a decision you have to make.
If you are looking to go very inexpensive, go with a rear projection. If you don't need to wall mount it, but want a bit of a better picture, go with DLP. If you want to wall mount it and have some more money, go with a LCD or Plasma. Just make sure you realize that a plasma is prone to burn-in.

What kind of people love to watch high def videos and what kind don't care about high def videos?
Q. I'm amazed to have just found out that there are people who don't care about HDTV. I love HDTV and watching the video, when the picture looks awesome it makes me want to drool.
Are you someone who loves HDTV or not? If you do, why? If you don't, why?

A. The types of people that don't care about HD are, (generally, not as a rule), old people, children, or people interested in things like sports & other earthy things, or those whos main concern is being cool & going out.
On the other hand, some of this audience may often go for HD because they hear it's the thing to do, (& now it's the only option at all), but they may often buy an overpriced HDTV just so they're sure it's a 'good' one, & then watch standard-def content on it, unaware. If shown the difference in resolution, refresh rates, & compression bit-rates, they may not even notice, & they probably still buy DVD's or rely on on-demand video services instead of hard copies, (which always have better quality & more extras). They likely use their TVs primarilly for video games & sports matches. If they have an HD camcorder, (which most are today), they, (again), may spend alot to make sure it's a 'good' one, & then they use Windows Movie Maker to burn of standard DVD of their footage, &, in the slim chance they notice it isn't HD anymore, they wonder why.
HD is mostly appreciated by video afficianadoes, movie buffs, & geeks. (I'm sort of all 3.)
Then again, even among us, there is division. Some don't care about 3D, &, because they're ignorant about what it really is, they may write it off as a gimmick. Others knew it was the way of the future before it became mainstream & use it as a legitimate art form & presentation method.
I personally love HD because SD is often so rife with compression artifacts, & this really detracts from the realism. Besides that, obviously, is the higher resolution. Even older film content not filmed on digital HD cameras benefits from being transfered this way, creating the closest thing to watching the original film strip, & often even better.
