My parents just recently purchased a new TV for the game room. Its a Samsung 50" DLP Widscreen. Quite nice if you ask me. We got a really good deal on it too, since my brother works for Best Buy. We got around $1,000 off.

So, now ive hooked up the computer to this bad boy. Yea, its quite nice. Of course the computer im on right now is my brothers laptop, so I cant mess with the screen settings, so a couple of things are off. But once I hook up my desktop to it, mhmm! lol.

Of course, ill have the regular monitor right there next to it, just in case im on the computer and some on else wants the TV. But, that will be easy to swap.

Yea, it will be even better once I hook up my desktop (dumb windows wont install right). Cause then it will fit on the TV perfect.

Thats what im working on right now. But, until now, I think the only option is to leave it on 1280x720.

Ok, so the highest my graphics card will support is 2048x1536. So i guess thats as good as it will get.

Unless you want to go out and get a new graphics card...

Well, AFAIK, Windows isn't going to scale that large anyhow. It's a wash.

It sounds like a nice TV though, Jake. Can you post some pics?
