Most people would call me insane if i revealed that i actually want to play my PC games on a monitor rather than a TV (which i currently have my PC hooked up to) for this exact reason. The colors on this thing suck and i want 120hz so bad, don't care if it's 4k or not ill happily downgrade to 1440p just for a better resolutionI personally never do this because monitor technology is way better (ultrawide, higher refresh rate, better response time etc.) and I much prefer playing at my desk.
How are people gaming in their living rooms when they have a family? I connect my PC to a tv but it's in a separate gaming room. Screw waiting for the wife and kids to free up the tv to game. I'd never have time.
holy shit, what a gamer momentYeah I had this problem. So I got rid of the wife and kids. (Actually true ).
holy shit, what a gamer moment
"not enough time to game so i got rid of my fucking marriage"
well in that case i can't really mock you lol, glad you've got a new girlfriend who actually has taste? But now I have a younger hotter girlfriend with a pokemon tattoo that likes to game with me, not moan at me for gaming (actually true ).

If you use the Couchmaster CYCON you might as well use a desk, looks ridiculous and the posture feels wrong.behold:
Pressing win + P to switch back to the computer monitor in a heartbeat is so hard.......
Why? What is the issue with using a TV and/or a monitor depending on the mood/game? I´ll answer that for you, there is none.
If you care about looks on your own couch something is wrong in your head. And your posture depends on you and your taste in couches alone.If you use the Couchmaster CYCON you might as well use a desk, looks ridiculous and the posture feels wrong.
Riiight, because home cinema systems are something completely unbeknownst to people and having a full blown dolby atmos system and a giant screen in front of you does absolutely nothing for game immersion and you also need a TV to use a controller ofc.......... /sI
Anyway, I stand by my point: it’s possible of course but it’s a niche usage that only makes sense if you come from console gaming. If you’ve been playing on PC since the 2000s or even earlier you’re not gonna do that just to use a controller or a TV.

So what do you think is the percentage of people using a PC plugged on a TV and controlled from a couch? Even 10% feels like a generous estimate.If you care about looks on your own couch something is wrong in your head. And your posture depends on you and your taste in couches alone.

My god dude, you have no argument, just your very personal preferences that you for some strange reason think can be generalized.
This. I plugged my PC into my TV for the hell of it and it was all fucked up. Yes I could've spent the 5 minutes figuring it out but I didn't plan on it being a permanent setup anyway.You also need to properly set resolution, refresh rate, v-sync (depending on display) etc.
I personally never do this because monitor technology is way better (ultrawide, higher refresh rate, better response time etc.) and I much prefer playing at my desk.
Wow bro you got ‘emme when i spread accurate, helpful information on the internet with the intent of trolling and laughing at the responses
Playing on a big 75inch tv at 4k is pretty great!
Since there are no statistics you are simply pulling numbers out of your ass based on your personal preference again. Also It´s not really a new thing for GPUs to have more than one connector. This notion that you absolutely have to choose one or the other is idiotic. Cables can be longer than a meter and there`s a fascinating invention called "wireless" that some exotic input devices are rumored to have nowadays......So what do you think is the percentage of people using a PC plugged on a TV and controlled from a couch? Even 10% feels like a generous estimate.
I know that you think that based on ...nothing. If I´d go around and generalize what I see in my vicinity it would be 90+% for me and my friends who have all been PC nerds since the 90s, but I´m not arrogant enough to think that this mini-statistic means anything.It’s a niche use and you know it
Because a couchmaster has to stay assembled at all times and can never be removed once installed. My wife will have to live around it for the rest of her life.....oh wait, no, I can just put it aside whenever I like.Also if you don’t care how your living room looks I assure you it will change if/when you share this living room with another person and the COUCHMASTER is going on a one-way trip to the basement.
This is the only non-falsely-generalized thing you`ve said so far. How about we leave it at that.....If it’s your preference it’s cool but there’s no argument for or against it.
Joke is on you!! I can't even see a HDMI port here:Step 1: Just like a console, search for the HDMI port on the back of your PC. If it's capable of any sort of gaming it should have one. If your PC is currently connected to a monitor via displayport, unplug that wire
bro if you didn't have gold already i'd go out of my way to give it to you because holy shit, i'm on the fucking floorJoke is on you!! I can't even see a HDMI port here:
Consoles >>> PC!

Can relate to this absolutely, but that's the single one reason why I started using headphones while I prefer speakers.And to add to this, I don't like video games in the living room. With how our house is set up, the kitchen + dinning room + kitchen is a large open floor plan so any sound on that TV is carried across easily to the kitchen and dinning room. I don't want video games on that TV because the sounds of the games takes over the main parts of the house. I let him do whatever he wanted to one of our bedrooms for his PC setup (that I use as well to be fair) so I think its fair to ask for that room to be the only one to play games since the distraction of it can be enclosed to that one room.

But wouldn't it be the same issue with consoles anyway?
All well and good unless you're left handed I wish they had a modular design where you can put it on either side and it has little covers (similar to the joy-con shoulder cover things) to make it look even.
Yeah, I wish I had the space for that which is actually my problem, but yeah, can understand that tooIf we had consoles or when it comes to that time, our kid wants a console, then it will be set up in the same room as the PC with another setup in a separate corner of the room. The living room + dinning room + kitchen open floor plan is an area that is suppose to feel relaxing and welcoming. A movie, a sports game, or a show is fine but a video game is a different beast when it comes to in-game sound, clacking of the controller, and even worst, voice chat. No way in hell a video game is going to be played in the social center of our house. That commotion needs to stay in an enclosed room.
I understand that people need the available funds to have a room available + equipment so I don't condone those who allow video games to be played in the living room. Though if possible, it should be avoided.
I use a HDMI extender for a 10 meter cable to the projector. No issues, might add some latency I guess. There are optical active cables too, have no personal experience but a quick google on specs says 48gbps is doable at 20m.good luck running more than 1,5-2meter hdmi 2.1 cable. These are wonky and expensive
This sounds like science fiction to me.

It’s like a constant black friday stampede in our house lol, toys everwhere playing their annoying repeated melodies and noises and kids and their friends arguing over the most pathetic little things. It’s chaos. It’s calm and quiet when they’re sleeping.
