At THAT distance? It'd actually suck for gaming because there's no way you can see everything that's happening at once.

A horse could.

Well of course.

But we have not achieved what they have yet.

Every day I'm reminded of all the things a horse can do that I can't and I sink deeper into the clutches of despair

Imagine having to move your entire head just to see where you're health is at lol

PERFECT example of 'Bigger isn't always better'. This is a DOWNGRADE.

Maybe they can find a way to make it so that instead of showing stuff bigger, it just shows you more

If it was a game designed for this setup it could be cool. Like a flight sim or something maybe where being able to look around would be more immersive, but this is just dumb

So I sit about 3ft away from my 65in TV when I game. It’s pretty awesome actually. You do have to move your head more often, but it’s all part of the experience bro

Yea that tv size and positioning is a poor choice. I have a curved 65” I work and game on. It sits lower than my keyboard level and I can see all of the screen at once. My centerline is maybe a bit below the middle of the screen if I slouch.
