OT Home viewing setup 

Post#1 » by The_Ghost_of_JB » Wed Apr 14, 2021 2:33 pm

I thought this may be a little interesting if people posted their home setups where they watch the Celtics games. First picture is my finished attic/man cave. I don't have the most expensive TV or sounds system but it works for me.

Image

The second one is my living room. Better TV and a better sound system but it's not quite as quiet as the attic.

That attic setup is pretty sweet! I have a 10+ year old Sony tv so I wont bother posting that here but look forward to seeing other peoples setups!

We've got 5 TVs in the house but I always watch TV (and the Celtics) on my PC. I have a gaming rig with a 32" monitor.

2 Home Theatres, 2 other TVs, 2 computers, an iPad & an iPhone.

95% of games on either my home theatre in the LR or the home theatre in the MBR.
Remainder scattered about the other devices.

Stream game on laptop, cast screen to 55" TV via miracast/bluetooth. Do other things while I watch (fold laundry, tidy/clean, prepare meals, foam roll). Wail about the how the sky is falling in game threads on my phone.

What I do is hook my macbook up to my tv. But really low. Then I use my mouse on the sofa. But I put a lot of stuff on the coffee table so the mouse and keyboard are blocked like 10% of the time. I find this to be the best set up as it really keeps me aggravated and on my toes.

pro tip from a friend who regurally had 4 or 5 arcade games in his house: The listed value on them is way above what anyone will pay. So when you get sick of one, donate it to a kids Rec center or whatever and take the tax write off and buy a new one. Much better than selling it.

I love that first set up.

1 laptop, 1 small desktop with Dell 34" widescreen monitor with built in speakers and I will watch games on both of those. But if its a big game, I tend to watch on my 65" LG Oled 4k TV in a 5.1 living room setup primarily designed for movies.

Usually watch at my outdoor bar set up here in San Antonio on my 50 inch 4k tv. Spurs and Celtics games are normally scheduled haha

Nice set up JB, looks like a cool place to hang out and watch a game with a couple of beers.

Yea man, I post a lot from my office with my iPad and people have explained to me several times how to post photos and gif’s on here and I never am successful.

Granted I’ll take most of the blame but any explanation for dummies would be appreciated

I think the basics are:
You can't upload an image to the site. You need to use the img tag with a public url.
To get a public url for a pic on your phone/etc, you need to upload it to a site that does that kind of thing like imgur or some cooler one that Zoya can tell you about.

And, I may be completely wrong on this... :)

Thanks guys. As you can see, I figured it out. I just emailed it to myself and changed it to a jpeg file.

All I did is post the image to:

https://postimages.org/

I'm not sure you did.... we only see the broken img icons. :)
It probably works for you since you're already logged in to the email, but not for the rest of us. Gotta use imgur or JB's site above or something.
