Recently my wife bought me my first HDTV. I say first because I hope to buy another larger one in the future specifically for our living room. As it turns out the one she bought me was for my gaming pleasure and is setup in my room (a room dedicated to my art, gaming and other passions). I'm glad that after all these years of video gaming I finally get to play games the way they were meant to be played, or at least the way I keep hearing they're meant to be played (personally I never really had a problem with SDTV so long as the screen was fairly large). I'm sure by most accounts I'm pretty late to the party but oh well, better late than never. Another bonus is that the tv now acts as my computer monitor which is awesome and a bit unexpected. I knew people used HDTV's as monitors but I really thought you had to buy a specific kind or something. Shows how much I know. Anyway I think it's pretty cool since now I can play Total War games on a huge screen. I'm not ready to go all Blu-ray yet but I'm happy to have finally made the jump from SD to HD.
