Screen and application set up?

General Discussion
1

Hello all,
I’d appreciate a little feedback on my proposed new set up to replace my laptop, ideally I’d like huge TV and powerful of but the latter will have come later and I have no room for a large TV/monitor.
So I’m thinking of Apple TV 4K and Toshiba 32 Inch 32LK3C63DB Smart Full HD HDR LED to make my experience a little more immersive.
Thanks

That sound like a downgrade from your laptop, except if it is a very old potato.

ATV4K does not have Zwift in 4K it is the basic profile.

Can you go desktop pc? That way you can open up better graphics than the ATV can offer. Also less limiting in terms of BT/ANT+ options.

Thanks for the replies.
Yes I could spec out a pc which could be fairly future proofed but I suppose the issue is getting a monitor which are quite expensive to show 4k and around 32”.

I shouldn’t worry about going full 4k. A PC capable of Zwift is very cheap and a graphics card that can run Zwift in ultra profile is also equally cheap. Don’t worry about 4k as you’ll not notice much difference between 4k and HD.

You can use the TV you listed with a PC.

The TV vs monitor decision is also affected by how far your face will be from the display

I’d say my face would be no less than 50cm/1.5 feet.

Do as I do, get a Chromecast and cast from the laptop or pc to the telly

Why limit yourself to 32"? Or a really expensive Apple TV or 50" standard TV?

Go larger (60-100" scren) BUT cheaper. A projector will be perfect. I’ve not done it yet, but that’s what I’m going to do.

On a side-note - interested if anyone has gone down the projector route and what gotchas there were, if any.

Hello,
32 or at a big stretch up to 40 is as big as I can go as I’m space limited.
Thanks

Room need to be dark, picture quality is :face_vomiting:

I would not go bigger than 40" if the screen is at 50cm. 32" will be fine at that distance.

My wife has a 46 at about 60cm and it is on the edge of being to big.
I have a 27" at 30cm and it id good. I will treat my self to a 32" at some point.
