Nerm Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Just purchased this LG 50" plasma TV. I purchased it for movie/sports viewing in the media room. What do you all think about hooking it up to a gaming PC and also gaming on it. I have never gamed on anything larger than a 32" before so not sure how the picture looks, etc on larger screens when gaming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePanda Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 We have a 60" plasma -- I've gamed on it many a times when we've had people over and wanted to LAN it up...lol. Things look AWESOME! The only thing you'll need is the ability to sit far enough away... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The couch and recliner however are only about 10 feet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psywar Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I always sit close no matter how big the screen. Just like when I was a kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp9801 Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 10 feet away should be fine for gaming, but it'll be up to you and how well you can see everything. You may find aiming in FPS games even easier, especially online shooters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerm Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 So as long as I am gaming at least 3-4 feet away it should look alright then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vasto Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 I game on my 42" LCD. I've yet to figure out a good way to use a keyboard and mouse on the couch, but a 360 controller works well enough for anything but RTS and competitive FPS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
