The resolution will be something to do with the TIR's motion-sensitivity,
not your screen resolution! :-)

No, that's independant of your screen's resolution. It's probably more
likely the motion it can detect.

I have a TIR3 and it can detect a large range of motion, TIR4 will most
likely be even more advanced as well as being 6DOF(?), so stop thinking
and start buying.

The sensor needs to be somewhere close in front of you, so the big
screen's probably too far away to perch it on.
http://www.rcsimulations.com/ is the place I'd buy one from. Nice bunch of
people in my limited experience.

It's independant of the display you are using, no idea where you can buy
it from in the UK, I'm in Australia. Steal a loaf of bread and come on
over.

If you buy the addon, I thought TIR4 came standard with it?
