How is the 40" m86 for PC use ? I was going to do something like this, saving me the need to spend out £500 on a 24" dell. Is it comfy to sit and use it for long amounts of time ? or does it just hurt your eyes ?

It's no trouble at all, I use it at the same distance as I would with any other sized PC monitor. The pixel mapping is perfect, in fact it's the best PC screen I've had yet. Before this i had a 20" Philips widescreen monitor.

It's not very good for PC gaming though, even with the 1920x1080 resolution. Everything seems just a bit too big. In Battlefield 2142, the size of the hand holding the gun on screen is as big as my actual hand! Takes some getting used to. General PC use is fine though.

Thanks for the help.

Can you sit and use it for long amount of time though ? I wasn't sure about this, as it does seem extremely big.

I think i may just go ahead and get it, i intend to wall mount it anyway, so i will be a little further back

Even if i don't like it i have this crappy 19" TFT to use.

How are people finding 20"-22" screens on the 360 then?

I'm seriously considering getting a 2007WFP but not sure what the quality of the picture would be like as the 360 can't achieve the native res of the screen.

I used an NEC 20wgx2 for a while and it looked great, just reduce sharpness to 25 and it looks fantastic!

Definatly, would look nice with my sammy

standard tv stand from currys and so on, get it with tvs most of the time when you buy one. Costs around £200 I think parents got one when they got their tv

Andybtsn · 22 Jul 2007 at 15:06

Seems cheaper to get a wall mount then, but then I need a unit for the DVD player, 360, PS3 etc :rolleyes:

House business is going to prove expensive but good all the same!

Great DVD collection there dude

What series of 24 are you up to? I've just finished season 4 but I'm afraid to watch 5 (I wont tell you why just encase I spoil it for you)

What did you think of Prison Break? I could never get into when I bought season 1 :confused:

Mattitude · 22 Jul 2007 at 17:49

thats just a small collection of box sets lol got the whole of lost, prison break and i have not got season 6 of 24 yet as its not out.

I never got into 24 when it started, over months i kept seeing these adverts and never really knew what it was about, was on play.com and saw they had the box sets for £17 i think so brough all 5 and started watching them to find that i really enjoy them, fav tv shows have to be them oh and top gear!!

Would look much better with xbox 360 elite and a black sky box

Thanks mate, I will add you now

Its a Keysonic wireless keyboard, It's hooked up to the PS3 via a USB Dongle that comes with it, think they are around £25.
