How to hook your PC up to your TV, a guide to widescreen PC games, and an overview of television technologies and which are the best for gaming!

You’re a power gamer, you have the best video card, the best sound card, and the newest motherboard. Somehow you have weaseled your way into getting the newest 64-bit processor before it’s even reached the market. But your monitor is in sad need of replacement!

Luckily, you have a large number of options in front of you to choose from, but before you go looking at 17inch and 23inch monitors that can cost upwards of $1700, why not consider hooking your computer up to a television instead?



The idea has been around for quite some time and has been done with limited success since the late 90s. The idea was to get the largest display possible, mainly because it was cool because it was… well BIG. These days the idea is to have a big monitor because computers can do more with them. For instance, you can’t buy a computer anywhere that doesn’t have a DVD drive. Imagine watching your favorite movie on your computer in 42” high definition wide screen format.
