DBond5 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Depends on your ports on your computer. If you've got an HD television as well as an HD port on your laptop you can hook them up. Linked up my 32" the other day, pretty pointless though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNelis Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 Yeah list what Ports ya got on the TV i'm considering buying a new telly, 42" if i can...what should i be looking for in it? ports wise... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

djwilko6 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 i'm considering buying a new telly, 42" if i can...what should i be looking for in it? ports wise... An HDMI port of course. You need to look at your LAPTOP ports, if it doesnt have an HD graphics card (it wont unless you paid quite a bit for it) then just the bog standard ports will do, the TV needs a PC-in port, the same that plugs into a monitor. As for stretched images, that's what graphic properties is for, you really can't beat Lord of the Rings Online and Bad Company 2 (PC Version) on a big HD screen.

DBond5 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 i'm considering buying a new telly, 42" if i can...what should i be looking for in it? ports wise... Just HD will be fine if you have that available with your laptop. Well the image will be stretched and will not look good. Dosen't look that bad to be fair.

craigcwwe Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Just HD will be fine if you have that available with your laptop.Dosen't look that bad to be fair. Still rather play it on a 17` laptop screen though mate. What screen did you see it on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBond5 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Still rather play it on a 17` laptop screen though mate.What screen did you see it on? Completely agree with you, I can't be bothered to play it on a TV where there's no real difference on a game like FM when I'd rather watch actual TV on it. Same, 17" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigcwwe Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 It is great as well as my laptop is new and this is my first FM since 2007 edition so i am enjoying it even more after along break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emanonn Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 On the laptop, I find FM 2010 pretty unplayable (can't see all attributes at once on a player's profile, TV view for matches does not allow more than 2 boxes), but on a 23 inch screen with 1920x1080 resolution, it is really good. You can open 6-7 windows in the TV view so you have everything under control at once. I would highly recommend it. Depending on your laptop/PC, you could use VGA or HDMI cables to connect to the screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieronbrown73 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I connect my laptop to my TV's via HDMI to watch TV shows and Films, but do not really see the point of doing it for gaming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
helemaalnicks Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 any laptop can be linked to any hd tv probably. If you're buying from a proper retailer, you buy a modern tv, and with a modern tv, you get loads of ports (i have a 450 euro 42" plasma, and got 2x vga, 3x hdmi, component, and a few scarts, and an s video). However, playing fm on lcd/plasma isn't wise, because the picture may well burn into the screen, because it's the same picture the whole time. I would like to see fm go dual monitoring, since direct X 10 supports it for games. That way, you could see the matches on your tv, and the rest on the monitor.

charlo116 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 i did this with my HD tv, not sure the exact size of the TV screen but i had still had to sit close to the screen because the attributes on aplayers screen were hard to see from further away.

cynet Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Run my desktop through a 46 inch and is superb for gaming and internet browsing, as long as the tv has a rb port at the back of the tv you will have no problems. Playing fm10 and battlefield company of heroes 2 is awsome so would recommend it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmmillwallniall Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Just find your output method from your laptop and find a cable on ebay that will connect it to HDMI. I use DVI to HDMI and use my 42 inch tv in my room to play FM )))) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmmillwallniall Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 this is with my desktop connected from DVI to HDMI on my tv. but I nick my dads laptop for the blu-ray films, and thats just hdmi to hdmi and looks just as good. The screen doesnt get stretched, i play it in 'windowed' mode and that seems to set the resolution up perfectly so that everything is still pukka. No matter what your output from your laptop, you can pretty much find any converter on ebay so there will be a way to connect pretty much any laptop. Obviously there are some MAJOR differences in quality, I first set up my pc using SVideo and that was absolute disgrace to modern gaming HAve you listed the ports you have on your laptop yet? ps. with my dads laptop i just connect my usb mouse to it as its easier that way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunnyBunny Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Not when my TV is bigger than that I got a 40 inch tv, but games still look more detailed on a 26inch lcd imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_Cdy Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 i'm considering buying a new telly, 42" if i can...what should i be looking for in it? ports wise... I would say atleast 3 HDMI and 2 DVI-D Direct SS connectors. I would go Latop to AVI Amp via HDMI and to the TV. With DVI-D, you could also output to the TV. My AV has Direct in 7.1 SS. With a monstor TV like that, consider getting a high range SS set. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevio11 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 So you can just get a HDMI lead and plug from laptop to tv ok Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_Cdy Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Should do. The built hardware decoders should enable a hook up by default. As long as it is Full HD for optimum settings. HD ready would a slightly lower Bandwidth, I believe anywho. Still got a CRT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
