Background: I am not really a console guy because I always keep a top of the line gaming computer, and I cannot afford to have both...also, most of the games I want for console are on the PC anyway.
But, I do enjoy sitting on the couch lounging and using a game controller to play on the TV. So what I am thinking about doing is:
1) Set second DVI port to duplicate first port (except different resolution).
2) Send this port to a HDTV.
3) Play PC games like I am using a console (I also assume that the xbox360 controller is probably the best PC gaming controller?).
Question:
1) Will I notice a huge difference in gaming at 720p vs 1080p? Like I said, I obviously do not have unlimited money, and if gaming at 720p is hardly a noticeable difference, then I would probably like to use that money and get a bigger 720p TV.
2) Has anyone else done the PC "console" thing, and how did it turn out?
Let me know if you need any more info.
