HD Monitor Resolutions

I am currently using a 23" LCD 1080p Monitor for my rig. If I want to use my 42" LCD 1080p TV for my rig, would that mean I have to upgrade my GPU or other components?

I've read that a 23" Monitor running at 1080p has the same performance and usage of a 42" LCD 1080p TV. Can anyone clarify this? Thanks!

All the GPU does is send a signal to the display device. It doesn't actually power it up (that's what the power cord from the TV is for).

Ah. So using a larger monitor at the same resolution (1080p) won't mean more usage of my graphics card? Awesome!

So does displaying the resolution on a larger tv mean the picture wont look as good?

I believe it will still project the picture at 1080p resolution,so the picture should still look as good.

Of course, when comparing the pictures between the monitor and the TV, the differences between the settings/make of the two would have an affect on the picture.

Yup. I am planning to buy a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse so that I can sit further away from the 42" TV :)
