I just figured out how to extend my laptop monitor screen onto my television in my room that I never use anymore. Now I can play PCM on 1 screen and write my story/MG reports on the other at the same time!

This is amazing, my life is forever changed. No more constantly flipping back and forth between tabs. Grin

(Will obviously help a lot with my school work as well, but it's way more excited when thinking about the possibilities for PCM.Daily. :lol: Like I wish I had this during the MG transfers...)

PCM on a TV? Holy crap that must be fun. I'm so jelly.

I'm mean there's the console game, but let's be real. Not the same effect.

Assuming you used the TV screen for PCM. Otherwise you would just be typing and that's no fun.

Yeah. Grin But my TV screen is just a little bit bigger than my laptop screen so it's not that much of difference. Guess I have to invest in a bigger TV now. :lol:

Yeah, only problem for me is there's no TV in my room Pfft

But still, don't you need to have the tab open on the computer to have it on the TV?

You can move the task bar over and also chose which monitor is the main display. Wink

How did you do this? My TV has Wifi and all of that jazz so maybe I dont need to hook up a cable, since the cable I do have is literally a few inches too short from my TV and where I sit with my computer.
 
Mresuperstar
I had to use a cable. Frown Not sure if it can be done by WiFi, but maybe depending on the type of television I would guess. Wink

I've also played on a HD TV before. Problem is I have a laptop now.
Could it be possible to connect my laptop via HDMI and play it on TV again?
Any expert in that area? Pfft

I also have played PCM by hooking up my laptop to HDMI TV, and it isn't a huge difference other than the screen being about 4 times as big Pfft

I play on a HDTV connected to the computer via HDMI cable. It's great.
The bigger the TV/monitor, the more powerful the graphics card you need.
The problem is that most laptops don't have enough graphics horsepower to run large displays.

No doubt!
But that setup won't fit in his laptop.

For all the HDTV setups: you can send WiFi to a tv. Check out Intel Wi-Di adapters. Secondly, my 42" TV is my main monitor, and truth be told, I tried it on my HD projector (~154in of screen) and found it to be shit, so stay 47" and under. Wink

I might have to look into this, since Alt+Tab kills PCM every time for me.
