Anybody playing with HUGE monitors?

......................dont forget the headphones.

Wow I just played gp2 and gpl on a friends brand new 21" monitor. Let me tell you this is a completely immersive experience, you can see everything in the mirrors and the***pits are almost big enough to be real life. I would like to hear who is racing with the bigest monitor? Anybody out there with a hyperstimulator hooked up to a big screen tv? Can I visit? Berno

Hello ! I have an iiyama visionmaster 501, it is an 21`` monitor. It is very good fun to drive GPL on it, but you have to notice one thing, little texture problems, holes, missing poligons, are a LOT more visible and more disturbing then on a regular 15-17`` monitor. You also have to play in a higher resolution to look real good, 1024 in GPL is the minimum, but its only look perfect at 1280 ! Yes, you way thats impossible..no it isnt ! TNT handles that resolution for gameing very well ! too bad that its actually not fast enought to race at 1280, but i am SURE that new chips ( TNT2, Voodoo3500 ect.) will make that possible, and i can race at the simheaven ;-) Bye, Tilus 19`` monitors are very vell priced nowdays, and there is a very small step in size, but huge step in price to 21`` !!

I occasionally play via a 1024x768 LCD Projector and its absolutely awsome.... the screen size works out to be about 2meters x 3meters!!! If you have access to a projector I highly recommend it!!

A local computer store has a 42" Fujitsu 16 X 9 aspect ratio, flat plasma screen monitor hooked up. They've had Unreal running on it. The price??? $10,000!!! -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remove "spam-jammer" to reply Galley Yahoo! pager ID is galleyworld ICQ=29356568 >Wow >I just played gp2 and gpl on a friends brand new 21" monitor.

Currently playing on a Viewsonic 19" with SLI Voodoo II'S AT 1024X768 AND IT IS AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Doug.........Lifelong die hard Boston Bruins fan....Driving Sim racer....avid Sam Adams drinker....3 Stooges fan....Proud American !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am running all my racing games on a 100" by 100" projection screen with GPL, N99, MGPR2, TEN online league racing, etc. Since I have done this, it is very hard to go back to my 17" monitor as you can imagine. I can really see whats coming up in front of me allot quicker with this system now and race on TEN much closer to my opponents. Also with SBlive plugged into two very large Peavy sound speakers that I use for my music gear to the left and right of me is quite a sound rush racing. The in cockpits views are almost like being in an actual size car***pit now. Cheers, Dave Thayer

Alright, Dave, look. I have a 20" Trinitron (confound those black lines!), but it's people like you that just make me sick! Why? Because I don't have a rig like that. Sim racing heaven! ;) Brett

(snipped) Huh! You think that's great? I have a malfunctioning 15" monitor, a Sound blaster Pro hooked up to two small tinny speakers both of which are next to each other on the right side of my monitor as I see it, and I also have a very uncomfortable driving position! You haven't lived yet :-) -- Cheers! Graeme Nash http://www.bromley-fc.co.uk ICQ# 11257824 1998 Xoom GP2 League Champion

I use a triple-phased photon-cannon, which displays GPL at approximately 2.5 km x 1.8 km, against the low-level cloud surface outside. When it's not cloudy, I scale it up and display it on the moon's surface. You all probably wondering how this is done. Secret.

Yeah, but does it get rid of those black borders or just blend 'em into the terminater line? >I use a triple-phased photon-cannon, which displays GPL at approximately 2.5

I have used a pure3d voodoo2 with s video to a 35"sony it works excellent although i still have problems with pages appearing underscan on the tv.also the eye strain is a bit much, once you get far enough from the tv not to burn your retina you have not got anywhere near the detail of a high res monitor. alot of fun though.
