StarCraft II on an HD TV
I have a question for those of us out there eagerly awaiting StarCraft II.
I have a fairly powerful computer connected to my HD TV for my media center (SageTV).
I was wondering if anyone came across information that would tell me how this game would look on my TV.

By "look", are you referring to colours, resolution, performance, or something else?
It should be no different to any other recent title. If you have a decent GPU and the video-out ports to match, it would look great on an HDTV.

Thanks Darius,
I've tried PC games in the past on my TV with pretty bad results. I think the original Neverwinter Nights was the one.
Perhaps StarCraft will be better.

For what it's worth, I've tried Guild Wars and Command & Conquer 3 on the big screen, and it's nothing short of stunning.

Perhaps I should whip out my StarCraft I and see how it looks... in honor of the upcoming sequel.

I downloaded one of the 600+ MB videos and wow, it looks very cool.
