| CladInShadows said: That's pretty nice, I gotta say. I use the same 42 inch TV for all my consoles, cable box, and my PC. It's mounted to a wall right behind my desk. So at that distance, it's large, but still within my field of vision. I can comfortably work on anything productive like office or photoshop, etc. And I can switch the video input to the PS4 or something and lean back in my desk chair fairly comfortably. But if I really feel like relaxing, there's a couch behind my desk chair. I just roll the chair out of the way, and plug my mouse/keyboard/XBone pad into a USB hub an extension cable that I've run through my basement ceiling. It's a small room I have set up, so even back on the couch, my 42 inch TV doesn't look too small. Audio is nothing too fancy. Just 5.1 through the HDMI port on my video card. |
That's a great hybrid setup. When I started working and still lived on my own in student housing, I had a 19" monitor on my desk on one side, tv on the other, and the wall behind it painted white for a second hand CRT projector. Also with USB extension cables to sit on my bed to play on the projector. (it was a very small apartment) The disadvantage of growing up, pc and tv/entertainement in different rooms. More so since pc became work.
It was 4 concrete walls so sound options were a bit limited (subwoofer wavelengths didn't even fit between the walls) Not that that stopped me from shaking the room up. I wasn't a very good neighbour lol. Yet I lived directly under the runway of the biggest airport, it wasn't exactly a quiet zone. A lerge cargo plane working hard to take off during the right movie, now that's surround sound!
