into HD television. Went out and bought a 28 inch LCD flatscreen television last night. Completely on a whim too. It's an LG, nothing too too fabulous, but I sure as hell like it and the picture quality on movies and games fucking owns.

Home theatering is fun. Got a 30" lcd on the wall (upstairs) and a ~100" front projection hd (downstairs). 4 player xbox - everyone gets their own 'normal' sized view.

100"? Holy hell, man!

42 inches or less is sadness

i am yet to see a screen that is over 42" that impresses me for visual quality.

i will prob see it when they finally decide on HD-DVD's or Blueray's.

Take the horizontal width of the screen (not the diagonal) and *2 it. That's how roughly far you want to be away for it to look superb while still maintaining a healthy part of your fov.

42"*2 = you want to sit 7 feet away from the screen

$.02

... what's the point of a big display if you sit half a mile away from it?
