why so low of resolution?! You get about the same screen space as a 15" LCD. That 50" Plasma can't do 1920x1080?

nice setup, bxr. i had my computer hooked up to my tv for the past year and recently moved it out. the wifey was complaining too much about hogging the big screen.

You can't ever have too big of a monitor :)

If you want big, get a $700 projector and make a 1280 x 700 picture on the wall thats 120"

I prefer resolution over size

I wonder what our 47" TV can do.. It does support 1080P and it has two HDMI ports on the back T_T But my stupid video card doesn't supports Component cables... Damn x1950pro! I want a HD 2900 XT or 2950 XT!

Evidently, you've never used a projector. I've seen 50' 640x480.
