    How do people play from the couch?! I don't get it...

    Every time I try and play from the couch I end up scooching closer towards the edge until I fall off and am reduced making my way to the telly mid game, on my knees, for a better view of the already crystal clear image.

    Ya gotta be in the game, hence the arm chair 4 feet away from the 50" :)

    Its all in what your used to :)

    Jaysus, mine is nothing compared to everyone else. Not really a set up at all but oh well :P

    p9220220.jpg
    From my perspective as I play.
    Pioneer Soundsystem, 2 PS3's(1 YLOD), PSP, PS3 games, a couple of 360 games, a few dvds I've watched recently, iPhone, Stalingrad(great read) and golf clubs are the things of note. I don't bother with the surround sound unless I have a free gaf tbf.

    codade2.jpg
    48 Inch Samsung

    p9220218.jpg
    Dell Inspirion 1525. I finally bothered my arse to re-format it the other day hence barely anything on my desktop atm. I despise Dell can I just say.

    OP

    iv never seen a setup like that before, such a unique idea



    here is my setup, Xbox and ps3 baby
    TV is PANASONIC VIERA TXP46G20

    Jaysus man you must have a sore neck from staring up at that tv all day!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,127 ✭✭✭✭Leeg17


    That's what Magill said aswell, I only moved the room around that way today so I don't know yet, but it's not as angled as the pic suggests. It's a good 6ft from my chair to the TV.

    I used to by lying on my bed looking up. Pain in my shoulder from it was fvckin' horrible every session.

    I have a gaming PC too, so I have both that and my PS3 hooked up together.

    Screen is a 24" Samsung flat screen, full 1080p HD. Source button on monitor to switch between PC and PS3.

    Headset is a Sony wireless jobby, amazing for music but no 5.1 so not the best for directional audio in games. Might upgrade when Black Ops comes out.

    Remote on my iPhone to control my iTunes so I can change music without switching back to my PC, pure laziness :D

    Oh and a reclining leather office chair for my ass.

    Sony headphones died, Turtlebeach X21s in their place.

    happy days :D

    Just thought i'd add that I used to play on a 42" HD TV, now I play on a 17" HD TV.

    I prefer the 17".

    Why?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,565 ✭✭✭✭Tallon


    42" is way too big

    Any bigger than 32" and I can't play properly. Dunno how people play on those 60" ones. Then there is that thing that came up before about the size of tv's in competitive gaming, Kersmash said they were usually 17-21"

    Sony 46" full hd LCD
    Denon 1909 amp

    I previously worked in a Xbox Cafe (cue shunning :D) We used 21 " Samsung tv's.

    In all competitive gaming events the 17-21 " tv's are used as far as I'am aware of too.

    Good times, but it(the business) was always going to be a fail in the long run sadly.
