Plasma rulz

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Plasma rulz

I know im crazy that i bought it, but it just rocks.
The pics say more than 1000 words:

Plasma rulz 1

Plasma rulz 2

ever played FL on a 107cm screen? (btw, DOOM3 is scary on that one, DoW is a blast as well, hmm, any game rocks on this one )
it can handle a desktop resolution of 1280*1024.
beautiful colors - its just freaking awesome - and the best of all: its MINE!

Good luck playing RTS games on that. As far as I've heard, pain in the goddamn ass to play on big monitors. Though it is very very cool I would love to see Doom III on that sucker. Mine is like a 25 inch monitor I think. But thats like TV size there, I would play my eyes out on GTA: San Andreas hehehe.

Goes back to long-focus Projector

Looks pretty good though, any luck you can get rid of the black areas on the screen?

Post Mon Nov 08, 2004 2:20 am

yeah. that'd rock. a projector. far cheaper too. but seriously, a 107cm screen? post some pics of a game going on that thing and i'll believe ya.

I triple the Projector Idea. Only problem is to get it perfect, you need a dark room...


Goes to playing Rome Total war on a 10ft x 10 ft screen :-p

projectors aint cheaper than this one (~1800€.
beside that, the brightness of projectors is bad - you need a dark cellar for that, and the resolutions dont go up as high as with screens (proj usually have <=1024*768 - at least in the category where it can be afforded by normal mortals like me).
ah, another con for projectors: the lamps are expensive and dont last very long.
the con of plasma is that the brightness reduces over time - similar to normal TVs - for example using it as a monitor with a lot of static displays (like desktop - taskbar) would burn in with the time - and the brightness of that are would decrease).
bu for gaming/movie watching this one is just perfect

100 MW of Beam Laser does.

*whistles softly*

I've been begging the wifey to let me put together a more serious entertainment center but she's opposed to it.

*turns green with envy*

Yeah. If you've got a PC, who needs XBOX?
