I can't even use my Windows 8.0 on my 32 inch TV that is 1080 sitting a couple of metres away, while keeping the resolution and boosting all the accessibility settings to the max.
Even the metro Apps I can't use.
I'd need a 50ft display! It's another facet of display/accessibility issues.
I had high hopes after Media Centre, that Windows would get this right. And bought Windows 8.0 specifically for this purpose. Disappointing. I'm forever going over to the TV and my neck hates it.
Personally I think part of the solution is to change the menuing system, breaking it out from the window. If I can at least use the menus/controls on apps I have a good chance of using them.
- teh_klev 13y agoWierd, I've got my Windows 8.0 laptop hooked up to my 40" Samsung 1080p telly (bought in 2007) and it all looks good, even from ~3m away...and that's using just the VGA input (Dell didn't stretch to a DVI port on their cheapo Vostro 1720 range back in the day).
- nettletea 13y agoWell your eye sight is way better than mine. Metro apps are almost usable, the desktop is barely usable (I have to walk over to the set, and that's with the text size increased. I have a very small (not titchy) living room.
