The DCEmu Interview - Question 25 - What Screen do you use for gaming?

Using a 22" LCD Optiquest/Viewsonic or, at its side, my second monitor, a 19" Optiquest/Viewsonic LCD for everything... (Got myself a little switch so I can use 4 consoles without unplugging). You know, Nes, Snes, N64 and Wii... It's starting to be a little cramped in here however...

On my PC I've got a Westinghouse 22" Widescreen LCD

For my consoles I've got a Mitsubishi 55" Widescreen HD Projection TV

For the PS3 & 360 I use my 42" Samsung Plasma. Then for my PC I use the 22" Samsung via DVI

I recently upgraded to a flat-screen 20" CRT, since I had to give up my standard 20" CRT to my sister a few months back after a series of unfortunate events. Conveniently, it supports digital, so should I ever decide to start watching television again, it'll work without a converter.

I could care less about HDTVs. In my opinion, now's the perfect time to get larger "out-dated" TVs for dirt cheap.

I use a 480x272 PSP screen for most of my gaming.
Then the wii which I barely use is hooked up to a 34" sony tube tv.

I use a Dell E196FP 19" LCD Monitor for my Xbox 360.
I use a SD TV for everything else.

and this comment:

"You don’t need to buy a new cable that is a waste of money.

Just use a screwdriver and pop the lower plastic casing off of the connector on the cable that comes with xbox 360 pro and it will fit perfectly with hdmi plugged in at the same time.

when you pop off the plastic you will see that innards of the cable are still protected by an aluminum enclosure, so you are not damaging the cable or exposing it by poping off the bottom half of the plastic enclosure."

To answer the OP: I have a Dell 3706 flatpanel that isn't full HD but still looks lovely. It's not perfect and
I wouldn't recommend anyone buy one at full retail, but I scored mine for free so I'm happy. The 360 is connected to this.

Interesting :D although i have the 360 without the hdmi, the vga output isnt exactly rubbish though, the picture i get of it on to the monitor is fantastic, probably more down to the monitor iself though i wouldve thought :confused:

Sony 32" for my Wii, PS2, and 360. In another room, 40" Samsung for my PS3 via HDMI. Both look really nice. Don't have 1080p, but I ain't complaining. :)

I have a gamecube hooked through a third party vga cord to two 17" crt monitors via a vga splitter, A dreamcast hooked To a 22" crt, and I'm Using a 20" Lcd for my dreamcast arcade cabinet. all those screens cost me $40 altogether

I use a 42" RCA LCD television. Price was right for it.
