I'm looking for people who've built LCD Gaming tables or has experience with them. My group was previously considering a projector, but with the price of lcd/led tvs being what they are and the overall benefits (no bulbs to replace regularly , no restrictions on lighting) we're planning on creating a gaming table with a 40" tv. If you've done this before, any insight you can add is appreciated.
Specific use questions:
Any specs to aim for? We'll primarily be using Roll20 to display Maps and to provide an interactive gaming surface. I'm concerned about what maps will looks like when I blow them up. I know this is mostly the quality of the map, but I'm sure a high res, high refresh display is better.
Any model recommendations?
Other than Roll20, any software setup that would work good alongside this?
I'm thinking a minimalist approach would be that I can run the player view and DM view from one system. I think in the long run, it'd be more ideal to have a separate system for tv. Then I could have a wireless mouse for those who don't have laptops to control their tokens. If I run it off the same system, sharing a mouse could be annoying.
