Video watching Question

[runeblade98]

Hey guys, I sometimes use my X-fi to watch Episodes of Top Gear on my Flatscreen in my room. Its better than watching it on the X-fi or my computer since I have the equipment to do so, but as mentioned in another member's review, doing this drains the battery quite quickly.

The way I do it is that I have my X-fi plugged into my USB wall outlet charger (output at 5V) while im watching my vids. My question is will this compromise the battery? or is it advisable to do this?

if u can watch it on ur computer y not ?

charging and watching does not compromise the battery. i do that sometimes

but the battery area on the right side will get abit warm

^I have a flatscreen mounted on my wall. It just looks much better watching the top gear trio on a bigger screen.

But thanks for your reply, I feel a little bit more assured.

You may find a way to put the video signal into your screen. Modern TV screens have a HDMI video input or an analog input which are both connectable to your PC. You can as well use your big screen as a desktop extension / second screen. The input/output possibilities depend on your graphics hardware and your flatscreen.
