We've still not got a Steam Machine release date, and the wait time means PC players will be ruminating over the tiny rig's specs. Fears over whether the system will actually deliver on its 4K 60fps promise could have you pondering whether to pass on an eventual pre-order, but I firmly believe now is the time to actually think about your TV setup.
Naturally, picking up a new gaming TV ahead of the Steam Machine launch only applies if you're using it like a console. If you plan on being perched at a desk, you're naturally better off looking at smaller gaming monitors. That said, the line between PC screens and living room displays these days is pretty fine, and if you haven't updated the latter in a while, your panel might not pair that well with Valve's compact computer.
