Re: Big screen TV viewing distances question

That's true, I never thought of that as I sit in front of a monitor=20
for over eight hours every weekday.

I'd be generally watching Sky+ on it and the occasional movie (via PC=20
and DVD).

When I saw it in Comet they were showing a DVD via the component=20
video connection and it looked good, even standing closer than I'd=20
normally watch the TV. In John Lewis they were showing the freeview=20
feed being fed to all of the TV's and that looked 'fairly ok' up=20
close (again closer than I'd normally watch).

I'm just trying to make sure that I don't buy one this size and then=20
have to send it back, especially as they charge a 20% restocking fee.
