Gaming on TV

I'm sure its not as hardcore as playing with a mouse and keyboard, but what is it like to connect your gaming laptop to your tv view hdmi? I only plan to play FPSs and action games with a xbox controller. I was thinking playing Hawk on max settings and amazing res would be better than on my xbox. Any performance issues?

also i cant my xbox controler for Crysis, the default settings are terrible.

If it's a modern, popular game, it usually works fine for me. If it's an older game, or sometimes a lower budget title, I frequently run into errors because I'm playing at a custom resolution. For instance, since my tv is 720p, I can't play Supreme Commander 2 at all because it says I don't meet the minimum resolution requirements, so I have to play it on a regular monitor.

If your tv already has the inputs, you should definitely try it out.

yeah i had a fealing id have problems with resolution. I bet vga would work better
