Sound like a good setup. Since I often game while listening/watching
to TV, the AIW was unsuitable.
Do you have separate sound for TV and "other"?
For instance, can you hear Internet audio while listening to TV audio?
I often hear something on TV that interests me enough to give full
attention to while I'm playing a game, or watching for example, a
Youtube video. In those cases I pause the game, or mute/stop the
internet activity. The TV is far enough away that the sound doesn't
distract from computer activities unless I allow it.
I like the idea of TV card/2 LCD's if the sound/perfomance of
gaming/internet activities don't suffer.
