I use a 42" lcd running at (1920x1080) connected using DVI. Most newer tv's do not have a DVI connection but you can get a HDMI to DVI cable. Make sure that what ever you use is compatible with being used as a computer monitor. Some tv's are not.
The larger screen really helps these old eyes see what's going on. I don't think I could ever go back to a smaller monitor.

Running HD on a 108 inch diagonal screen.  :rock

I just got the Panasonic AE4000. I built my own 5x9 screen for it and used blackout drapery. It also has a non-military use with the blu ray player I just installed.

Moved up after this years con to a 23" Samsung flatscreen, and I'm very very happy with it. (196$ at sam's club)

I do think if you go with a 42" I'd go plasma for the faster responce times.
We also got a 42" plasma at christmas time for the living room. And while I love my 23" monitor, that 42" plasma is awesome.

This is a squad mates setup with a 42" plasma.



I don't know that you'd need 8 - 10 feet, I think for a 42" you could get by pretty nicely with 3 - 5 feet viewing distance.


....Bonus was much more than I expected and I found this well within my budget.  Should I have been smarter and responsible?  Probably but I've had my ribs kicked in for the past two years and decided to get something for
myself that I wanted for a change. Samsung 42" HD Plasma.  I dusted off my gear and played a little offline last night and it's beautiful.....


Short answer, if $$$ is tight, treat yourself to a good new 23-24" flat screen.
If $$$$ are in good supply, look around for a good 42" plasma, even if you have to redo your computer room to make it work.

I hooked a projector up to my system for a few days,cleared everything away from 1 wall.It was roughly 3ft,5ft.maybe.Was pretty fun especially while in a tank.I heard it would eat thru bulbs since I play so much,so went back to my 22in. monitor. Bulbs are like 175 bucks

All you'd need is an in put on the TV to use, either VGA or DVI.  You can also get DVI to HDMI adapters pretty cheap.  The easiest thing to do would be to see what the native resolution of the TV is and see if the video card can support that resolution and set it to that.
