    If I own a 1080p television the max resolution is 1920x1080, right? Or does "1080p" mean something completely different than native resolution, now?

    Yes to your first question.

    That's the best option for resolution with a 1080p tv, yeah

    I don't know how often this happens but when I used to PC on a 52" 1080P DLP it had an alarming amount of either overscan or underscan, depending on the TV view mode, so some tweaking either in the PC control panel or the TV's maintenance menu (dangerous-ish) may be required

    (edit) By "alarming" I mean maybe one and a half inches on each side, which stood out like whoa until I spent an hour working out how to fix it

    The pci-e slot on my motherboard is laid out such that some video cards (like my current one) fit such that you can't unlatch RAM modules without unplugging the video card entirely first

    Kinda lame

    projectors as gaming monitors suck

    all you're doing is making a lower resolution bigger and wasting money

    It's a novelty.

    Even if you have a non-spackled, flat egg-shell white wall that you are projecting onto, it still eats up a good portion of the color.

    Oh man so I was playing mass effect because I am so close to level sixty

    And my dad walks in and he is all what are you playing and I said mass effect and he said "what you should do is lay down the ground work"

    And I was like "what"

    And he said "well, when I bought your little brother modern warfare 2 I also put down 10$ on the collector's edition of mass effect 2 for you, so you should convince me to pay for the rest"

    Yesssssssssss.

    Also, depends on the game.

    I ain't played more than a few hours of tf2 on it, that's just overkill.

    But Mass Effect? S'no contest.

    In fact just let him play through all of the post-Wrex bits of Virmire and all of The Endgame
