monitors are generally made to be viewed up close - if video quality is no issue, then a commercial display /digital signage is also okay.

however, a good detailed list of tv aspects would help with even that choice.

not shooting any option down - just wondering about available resources/information.

my guess: FiberOptic cable

"If you can't convince them, confuse them" also kinda works here..

Estradasphere and Ween pop to mind

My digital tv reciever cannot receive a large range of channels when a mini pc, in off state, is plugged in on the same switch. It works fine when the UTP cable is not connected, it works fine when the mini pc is on, also fine when the pc had no power at all. Distance between pc and receiver does not matter, neither does the configuration of cables in the switch. I've given up on it, but sometimes the issue disappears for months, and then comes back for a while.

Left 4 Dead 2 (multiplayer)

CloneHero/GuitarHero

Quake 3 Arena (or 2, or DooM for nostalgia points)

Honourable mentions: Disco Elysium, Nethack, Portal.

In Dutch: 'graftak' is a beautiful way to indicate an annoying/terrible person. Literally: 'grave-branch', which sounds nowhere near as satisfying.
