    Ill be uploading a new video to youtube tonight showing L4D and Teamfortress 2 on my 32" lcd tv. This weekend I also played L4D on a 46" monstrosity that my friend had.

    Gameplay seems to work better for some reason. I really think the vent being partially occluded by the screen causes the system to throttle. I do not get this issue when the screen is closed out putting to my tv. I even run the settings on high.

    Video is uploading to youtube ~1hr left.

    Ran 3dmark06 on a warm system, not cold boot and got 6782 3DMarks. Cold boot I may be able to break 6800.

    well, TF2 and L4D aren't demanding games... you should be able to max out at 720p... maybe 1080p....
