Omega-TI Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Want to enjoy Atari Age on a big screen? If you are like me, you have an average 15" - 17.3" monitor on your laptop. As you get older the writing gets a little small. Well for only $35.00 you can send your active TAB to the Chrome Cast (TV). Now you can read things easier, and most importantly see the You Tube demonstrations in style!

boxpressed Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Cool. I didn't realize that Chromecast could send Chrome to the TV too (duh). Just bought one!

Albert Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 You can also do this from iPads and iPhones to an Apple TV using AirPlay. Here's my iPhone 5 mirroring Safari to my 60" TV. Also tried with an iPad, but the iPhone looks better due to the widescreen aspect ratio. I can also do this from my MacBook Air, which would probably be more suitable for my tastes. The phone is sitting under the TV so you can get a sense of scale. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/218346-forget-your-dinky-little-15-or-17-monitor-on-your-laptop/#findComment-2860987 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RXB Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I prefer my 23 inch LCD screen with 1920 by 1080 as I can sit close and everything is not so small plus at the distance of 2 feet it feels like you are in the games. Also with that resolution I can blow up Classic99 and still have tons of screen space left for other stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC_Hn8_WlO4 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/218346-forget-your-dinky-little-15-or-17-monitor-on-your-laptop/#findComment-2861053 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 How does one enable the custom forum skins? This one is easy, go down to the bottom left-hand side of the page and click on "Change Theme". I'm using the one called, "Deflection".
