I too am considering this option. Let me throw this out there and hopefully get some feedback.

I just built a new computer and have a GeoForce GTX-970 video card. I am looking to pick up a flat screen for the wife, and sneak in the occaisonal elite session when I can. Would a 50" LCD 1080p with 120hz refresh get the job done? My video card has an HDMI output ( along with 2 game port and 2 diff DVI ports sheesh), should I just stick with HDMI?

Yes, absolutely... My game looks gorgeous. Great framerate.

I play Elite on my 50" sometimes via HDMI. You should have no problems there. I have the 970 too, great card isn't it

This was a major upgrade for my computer, I am absolutely blown away by this video card setup. I run absolutely everythigng at the max, and this card does not even break a sweat.

Have you tried the DSR feature yet? If you haven't, be prepared to be blown away again

DSR? What is that?

Aquila Oculus · Dec 19, 2014

Have a read of this and try it out

I use x2 DSR with 25% smoothing. All settings maxed and SMAA. Looks beautiful

The article is a bit long winded but it's very easy to do and you can't "break" anything.

Let me know how you get on and enjoy! (Any questions after reading up on it feel free to ask)

DVI to HDMI here. Connected to an HDMI switcher which is then connected to a 60" LCD. I enjoy it thoroughly, and do get sound through mine.

I have my PC connected to my 42" smart TV and the picture quality is amazing and the 3D experimental in game work amazingly.

I also use a 40" flatscreen TV at 1080P via HDMI and the game looked great yesterday.

Today, they did something weird to the backgrounds and they look a bit pants, but everything else is good.
