Rogerwilco2002 Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 It really depends on what you using to output to the TV. Some cards or external units go up to 1024x768 without having to scroll around, but then again you get that blurry TV look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicket the Ewok Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Are you sure? I thought there was some physical limit to TVs, hence why console games are limited to 640x480. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have gone your Klipsch route if they weren't so damn expensive... I would have to disagree. I tried out both the Logitech's and the Klipsch systems and the 4.1 logitech system was lacky a bit of what I wanted. I felt that the bass response and overall sound quality was higher on the klipschs. You really have to get them out of the store and onto your desk to hear the awesome sound and compare. As with the price thing, yes they are expensive, but you must realize that they are so powerful that they replace a stereo system and can even act as a Home Theater system without trying. The 4.1's are only 300 dollars and you get sound quality that can't be beat. If you like to crank it I would recommend the klipschs. If you are on a budget go logitech or altec. Hehe I have a underground worker at Bestbuy that hooked me up with mine at Employee cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will agree to that, but the logitech's are the best 4.1's under $200. I have found that they do lack a bit in midrange, but overall...they are awesome. They cost less than half as much as the klipsch's, yet deliver performance that is closer to the Klipsch 4.1 performance than any other 4.1 system...at least in my experience. As far as the home theater thing...if I was going to hook up a home theater system through my PC, then I would not have got the logitech. The klipsch speaks would be, as you said, the ultimate choice for that. At the same time though, I am not interested in my computer being my home theater. I have separate stereo components and speakers. I used to think that I wanted to just combine everything but now I don't want to do that. That is why I bought the logitech speaks. I wanted really good COMPUTER speakers, not a home theater setup, and that it what the Z-560's offer. Great price, awesome sound, not perfect...but then, for real home theater, the klipsch packages wouldn't really be the way to go either. This is all my opinion. I am not knocking the klipsch speakers...they are awesome. I think that they sound great and if I had the extra money to spend on them, I might have gotten them. Just for my money and purpose, the logitechs are perfect. I envy your inside hookups @ best buy though...that is way cool. I wish I had a sweet hookup like that! What do you think Roger?
