Hooking up a TV to the PC, need advice.

So I will be building a new rig this month and i'm thinking about adding some extras to create an amazing entertainment center in my bedroom. New rig will be pretty beefy, here a few of the important specs

i7 3770 OC'd to 4-4.5Ghz
16gb DDR3 1600
2x6850 Radeon running CF (Already have these)
240gb SSD + 2tb 7200RPM HDD


Right now i'm using a 28' Monitor. I'm thinking of about adding a 40-50inch TV to use as a primary monitor. I love PC gaming but hate sitting in my computer chair. I have a wireless xbox controller with the PC dongle, if I could mount a TV on the wall I could play in bed which would be HEAVEN.

I've never used a TV as a monitor before, i'm really worried about the quality. I'd like to keep the TV in the $400-$800 range but will spend more if it's worth it. What specs should I look for in a TV for this setup? Would any 1080p TV work?

Any TV will do. All you need is an HDMI cable. Oh, next time you'll get better answers in general hardware. All we in ATOT are interested in is bulk beef, basements, and BMW M3s, in that order.

Or in the Home Theater forum.
My PC is Hooked to my 50" Plasma. Looks fine.

I'm using a 42" Vizio at my primary monitor. Just needed an HDMI to DVI cable and it plugged right in. I have a 23" Samsung monitor as a satellite screen and use it for Pandora and soforth. Love the setup

You forgot student raping teachers, banning guns and flagging youtube videos


As they said, HDMI cable and bingo.

I have seen those 73 inch mitsubishi dlp hdtv's for under a thousand bucks if you didn't care about wall hanging and wanted to avoid screen burn-in.
