| 1202966 | 2011-05-18 07:10:00 | Widescreen TV does not fall into the "biggest" is everything category :) There is a suggested screen size to viewing distance ratio somwhere on the internet. Believe me, having a screen too big is uncomfortable. |

Believe me, having a screen too big is uncomfortable. Meh, I already have a 50", its sweet. I also have a home cinema where the screen is the entire wall. Its also pretty damn sweet. Never been uncomfortable watching either of them, Big is good. The 32" in comparison is lacking. |

| 1202969 | 2011-05-18 07:45:00 | Optimum minimum viewing distance for a TV is 3 x the screen diagonal measurement. ie for a 4o inch TV one should sit 10 ft from the screen, sit closer and get a degree of pixilation. The size of the room and normal viewing distance should be what determines the size of the TV. |

| 1202972 | 2011-05-18 11:32:00 | I saw a 3d tv at Harvey norman... They are average. The 3D doesn't come straight to your eyes, just looks like it's 6 inches out of the tv. Glasses are also a pain to put on everytime you wanna watch. :pf1mobmini: |

| 1202973 | 2011-05-18 21:34:00 | Plus, its just wrong. Exactly. It all depends on the screen resolution, are we talking 576i, 720p, 1080p?! Skip the plasmas, burn-in is a *****. Skip 3D, get movies that have already been filmed in 3D (Thats why there's a difference between "Disney 3D" and "Real3D" on certain movie cases). LCD is good if you're looking to be cheap LED is the way to go if you're looking for something to match the rest of your home cinema Higher refresh rates also look nice :D Sony vs Samsung vs Panasonic vs no-name brand, I wouldn't care, it's about bang-for-buck as far as I'm concerned, and nice picture quality as far as the viewer perceives it. Keen to hear what you end up with! |

| 1202974 | 2011-05-18 21:49:00 | It will be a plasma, Never seen any burn-in, and its the best bang for buck when it comes to large TV's. Given up on 3D, It would meaning having to invest in a $1000 video card so I could run PC games in that format. Now for the proverbial spanner in the works, I just fired off my resume to a few places in Aussie which would make a television purchase redundant :rolleyes: Off to HN in a couple of hours, I got a nudge that there maybe a price correction on a specific model. |
