yeah i would think so too loL, but i was just imagining playing on a enormous screen i wonder how it would work out, i know it can be easier on a smaller screen like 15-17-19 inches or crt's but wonder how more realistic or how it would look and feel, if you will play worse or actually can play better due to the lifelike/realife similationlike and adrenaline, just curious if you can play as good on a 28-40-80 inch screen as u can on a 15-20 inch crt's/lcd's and maybe for fun too RofL

edit:28-40-80 inch

It would really depend on what the maximum resolution is and the refresh rate. I believe I read somewhere that 42" plasmas for gaming are in the works but, not availible at this time.

i always wanted to try it but i just got the idea from darfydi's signature
(-->see signature loL) after i saw that 22+inch on costco for sale but most lcd's today are on sale also and price droped quite abit. Be cool to play non-fps games while having a notepad or browser just beside it. better yet just have a few other pc's/monitors beside each other Lol

Darfydi's sig (bottom)
Motherboard ~ Epox EP-9NPA3 ULTRA
Processor ~ Athlon 64 4200 dual core
Ram ~ 4Gb Corsair pc3200 400Mhz XMS (4*1Gb)
Graphics card ~ GF 8500 GT NVIDIA 256MB INNO3D
HDD ~ Western Digital SATA II 250Gb 300Mb
OS ~ Microsft Windows XP (yes - I hate Windows too but I don't know enough to run LINUX yet)
Monitor ~ 21" Sony Triniton [saving for 42"Plasma] <---

You can pick up a decent 22" widescreen for around $300-$400 nowadays. And that's with a 0.2ms refresh rate. Couple that with a decent vid card and you got some great gaming going on.
