@TimWardCam I've been thinking about this for a while, since I noticed the 3,800x1,800 display on my laptop screen makes me not want to plug anything (like a PS4) into my TV anymore. When I looked at the price for updating the TV, it was silly. Worth checking if buying a TV card for your PC and running a monitor would be cheaper. You can get a remote for a PC, too. @hamatti  @TimWardCam Yeah, that might not work so well. How are you playing stuff from the internet, then? @hamatti @TimWardCam Ah right, I see where you're coming from. The problem with the internet (from a device point of view) is that it keeps changing, and so things need to be updated again and again. That makes the problems mentioned earlier in the thread hard to avoid. But if yours is still working, perhaps there's hope for all of us! @hamatti @tokyo_0 @TimWardCam @hamatti I got a projector for stuff I want to put on a big screen. That includes movies stored on our home media server, Youtube stuff, and images live-stacking from our telescopes. |
@tokyo_0 @hamatti I'm not an expert, but there does seem to be a crossover, particularly with the sort of large expensive kit you put in meeting rooms these days. Traditionally a "monitor" didn't come with the sort of remote control you'd want with a TV but I would not be astonished if that's completely different now.
