VIDEO - MCM 2 - 32" LCD TV & monitor - OMG!   
===========================================

I am goofy but THIS IS COOL! 
The video says it all... 

===========================================

This will only be online until I hit my bandwidth limits!

Video = 320 x 240 @ 12 MB:

*This DOES NOT do the LCD TV justice!
- the jitters are from the *.mpg encoding
- the game runs smooth as heck!

EDIT - I made a bigger, better quality *.wmv file!

Video = 640 x 480 @ 77 MB -

PS - the file names are settings I used in my video editing app.
- I am new at this video stuff... it is fun!  Any advice?

[VMX_Burn]

Haha awesome man! I love it.

I'm actually looking to getone of those TV's myself, partly to run my xbox360 on and also for the new pc I'm gonna get(gonna be a good'un)

[VMX_SKYmx99]

Awesome vid dude.  I love the part where you're like "brakes brakes brake... SWEET." lol

It is so cool to be able to put names and faces together.  I wish we coulda met at our rainbow interviews.

[BoNalls]

JESUS CHRIST.... no wonder so many people break their joysticks.... you guys BEAT the *#*#* out of them!!! hahahaha

Ive had my Precision 2 since the day i bought MCM2, the day it came out LOL. It is still running flawlessly (mind you, it is a little softer now)

I have it set ultra sensative and i bearly have to move the joystick to preload.

Funny video bud  .

This is what happens when you give a guy - a great game, a big TV, a camera and a few beers! ;D Well... maybe I had a couple more than a few!    Hey - LOOK - I've got more film in this camera!   

Glad you all enjoyed it - I had a lot of FUN - but I always DO! 

[V_Muskaman]

Unfortunately, it appears your new screen appears as only a few inches in width on my screen.

Hey King,

What kind of specs does this LCD monitor have? Any ghosting or jitters? I see one coming my way soon! haha!

[AMA_King]

Westinghouse LTV-32 w1 - I searched & see some revisions on smaller models
- I didn't find specs RE: the diffs. - I could not find a dot-pitch spec.

It is a PC compatable LCD-TV!  I paid $900 on sale at Best Buy.
Add tax / 2 yr. ex-warrenty and a copy of FLATOUT I spent $1140!
It is only HD ready, but it will show HD from xbox360 - I hardly game on consoles.
EDIT: PGR3 looks almost TOO good to pass up... but will cost me $450+ w/ the x360!
- see some pics here:  http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=983120&page=1&pp=20&highlight=response

It is NOT a high end model, but for SP gaming it ROCKS!
I run the 32" LCD @ 1360x768 @ 75hz  & my 21" CRT @ 1024x768 @ 85hz
- If I don't keep the x768 factor - my desktop icons get all re-arranged!
NOTE: you must have dual outs on your video card (I have 2 DVI out)

Other info:
- 170 degree viewing angle  - 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i HD compat.
- 8ms response time  - 4.3" deep - wall mountable @ 45 pounds
- 60,000 hour lamp / bulb - 1000:1 contrast ratio

Nice, thanks for the info King. I was looking at the forum site you linked and I about creamed my pants with some of them setups.

V_Muskaman - you need to adjust your perspective / viewpoint settings...
I suggest you have a few beers...

Yeah, those are sweet. I have an older version of the 56" model (HLN567W) and it can dispay 1920x1080i or 1280x720p. A 1080p set would rock. But MVA still looks awesome on it with the HD XBOX kit.

Post photos! 

[thormx985]

im jelous of that friken huge ass screen geeze i can only dream man,nice taunt hahahaha i can't bealive u rode a 2 stroke on a national track! hahaha cool stuff.

[Garasaki]

I've played MCM2 on my 7 foot wide by 4 foot tall projector screen before.

Frankly, it wasn't that much cooler...

Movies and football (drools...football) are more impressive.  I play MXU in HD on that thing too...again, sorta neat at first but that dosen't eliminate the floaty physics of the game...

[Kazam]

you want to share ?

send one of them screens over to me

[cR]

Now that's a good idea ... need my postal adress? lol

[AMA_King]

Sorry guys - You only get a big screen if I win the lotto!

UPDATE:  I loaded new video drivers (Radeon X800 GTO 256)
Maybe I just didn't notice before but I can set the game to 1360x768
- same as the LCD TV's max and it felt even smoother so I turned shadows on and still get 60+ fps! 

I've played on a projector too, but the max res. is usally 800x600 or 1024x768.
- games do look pretty pixely at 800x600 x 7'
- did you try cranking up the AA / filtering / other options?
- DVD movies do ROCK on the big screen!

C'mon - sitting 24" or 12' away in your bedroom / office is COOL!
"I" think this is killer for everyday gaming!  I mean REALLY - sitting 30" from the screen in Counter Strike: Source, Flatout, GTR, Far Cry, BloodRayne 2, etc @ 1360 x 768 and getting 60-100+ FPS is JUST TOTALLY COOL!
