Got my first 42" Plasma - WOW!

**bsodmike** · 10-06-2005, 01:42 PM

Hello guys,

Today has been an interesting day. The 42" Plasma was delivered to my house in Colombo and it is sitting on my 60" table (taken a good 50" of it) and connected my Mac mini to it...wow!

It has a plethora of inputs, got the mini connected via DVI and the PS2 via good old composite.

I've tried a few DVDs and they play really really well. Fast action scenes are displayed flawlessly and even Anime played on the mini looks awesome. Watched a couple downloaded episodes of '24' and 'Lost' and they looked great too.

This will be the default display for the mini here and I got a few interesting pictures to post in a bit. Simply put, I'm loving it

I'm guessing you mostly us that for DVD's and stuff? I'm sure it'd be far too big for general word processing and web browsing.

DVDs, PS2 and usual comp stuff...I know it is crazy but I'm kinda getting used to it hehe

Superb screen mate! How many pictures of the queen did that set you back?

You do much pc gaming bsodmike?, as surely at that close to the screen you notice pixelation etc?...

Not sure i'd want a 42" plasma as my PC monitor i have to say.

what resoultion is that? Surley you'd need SLI to run it @ max res

**skuzgib** · 11-06-2005, 12:03 PM

Nah, it'll be lower res than a monitor

**Ady168uk** · 11-06-2005, 12:08 PM

bsodmike must get neck ache after a few hours using that mon hehe, just turning left and right to cover the whole of the screen. Must be funny playing CS on something like that, physically looking out for peeps

**unrealrocks** · 11-06-2005, 12:09 PM

Heh thats pretty sweet

I take it its a HDTV plasma so you can run it at a decent resolution?

**gobbo** · 12-06-2005, 12:29 AM

OMG! That is HUGE.

I've just noticed I have the same speakers at you, which gives a good inducation of size and OMG!!111
