Playing games on the big screen

[Sniper82]

Was wanting to run my GF3 Ti200 to my 52inch projection TV and was wondering would this hurt the TV? I know if you leave it paused or something for a long time it could burn the image on the screen or something like that?

Is this safe or should I just forget about it?

just dont leave static images on the screen for long periosds of time like more then 5 hours, you'll be safe then. your computer will have a screen saver so that wil make it fine.

oh i would make the screen saver "blank screen"

is there a certain resolution I need to run on my desktop and games? I run everything in 1024x768+ res. Will this hurt the TV?

Nothing with hurt it. Just use what looks best

depending on your video card, some will only do up to 800x600 with the tv output

a moving screen saver would probably be better, something to give the pixels a workout with changing colors and whatnot. tvs can be on for hours at a time with no problem...

the lines on a tv is about 500
lines on a monitor is about 800

it works
but crappier resolution on the tv
