So I'm starting to do some research on a wireless Pc gaming setup... I would be going from a 22' monitor w/ wired KB+M to a 42" LCD w/ wireless KB+M.
- What has worked for people in the past, as far as wireless Pc gaming is concerned? I don't want to have my keyboard in my lap, so if someone has found a table that is ideal for this situation I would appreciate a link!
- Also, I've been reading that response time is more important than the refresh rate as far as using an HDTV as a monitor...T/F?
For instance...

Awesome price, but the response time is 4.5ms :(

I have a higher end gaming rig, so I do not want to sacrifice quality or performance just for a larger screen...so my second question.

Would I be better off staying wired, and getting a 28" monitor ala

My ideal setup at this point would include a 42" that would double as a quality Pc monitor; just about anything is going to be alright for Xbox gaming and such- so I'm more concerned about the televisions monitor performance than actual TV performance.

1. 42" wireless setup or 28" wired?
2. Response time over refresh rate?
3.useful furniture for extended, wireless pc gaming?
4. Any other suggestions? useful thread links?
 
Input lag is a large variable here, depending on your sensitivity to it. You will need to check with a review site for that information, as manufacturers rarely list this, and rarely are they accurate if they do. Many hdtv's have rather poor ratings in this area.

Read wiki for info on that

4.5ms response time isn't too bad, unless it is grey to grey. They don't list how they measured it on newegg.

You will really need to check some good lcd review sites, unless someone who has more experience with this than myself.
