Anyone playing BF on a big screen HD TV, something 40 inches or up?  I am thinking about buying a tv with PC compatible slot and wondering what kind of experience you get when playing on something that big.

Im sure it would be fun, I dont know. I know most video games advise not playing on large screens for health warnings though

I might have to try hooking my PC up to my 50" HDTV.  I know Darth Fleder played on a 65" for a while and didn't seem to have any issues.

not on HDTV but on a 35-40 inch TV before but i lost my adaptor for connecting the wires into t.v. and my PC. i played bf2 and brothers in arms on it (t.v.)  although i did not have any small table or stool and had to play lying on my stomach. overall it was good but it was impossible to see the print and i had to second guess where i put a certain video file or reading the print on a rpg game.

I've got a 62" DLP Mitsubishi 1080i HDTV in the family room. Too bad I've been too lazy to drag my rig into there.

I played BF2 on my 47" HDTV for a while. Only bad thing about it is, if you have a 16:9 set, you have to add a line to the exe file which stretches your resolution to fit your screen. Makes it look ugly as fizuck.

i was looking at buying a 32" LCD hdtv, does bf2 run smooth on your tv? and what video card are you using for it also?

The big screen is cool, but where do you seat the mouse? I need a desk.

i have played on a big rig.  with the sound and all, it is quite an experience.  if i had the dough to shell out, i would do something of the sorts.

I dragged my rig into my tv room to try it on my 46" Samsung HD DLP TV and after hooking it up and all that crap, I load up bf2 and it just crashes to desktop. I would imagine there is some setting where I have to change the resolution....I just eventually gave up and unhooked everything; im fine with playing on a 19" LCD in a comfy computer chair.

I need to hook it up down in my basement on my 103 inch projector screen I have the cables for it, I just don't know how to re connect the cat-5 wire. I can't even follow diagrams that good so who knows when I'll get to play it down there.

i regularly play on a 62 inch toshiba dlp  hdtv, I love killing people as big as me, but lack of proper seating/place to ergonomically put mouse and keyboard, lead me to usually stay at the desk most of the time.

Would be cool but my 1680x1080 monitor is enough.

It'd be cool, but as someone else said if it's 16:9 ratio then it is all stretched out and ugly. You can thank DICE for not implementing true widescreen support =/

I have had it connected to my 32" TV.  The only think I have an issue with is the text is not clear enough to read.
