    heh, yeah, that would probably be the sensible thing to do. But I wouldn't get to enjoy benefit from that for another 25 years!

      Big size is good when you watch live matches and horor moviz with big surround sound effects. If you go for big size you can bring more people(or friends) at your home and enjoy watching. If you feel your elec bill is getting high then ask your friends to share your bill:laugh::laugh::laugh:

        And let's not forget the next gen consoles ! You need HD to really appreciate the current crop of 360 & PS3 games.

        I hate to say it, but I'm not into gaming. Although, my argument to the missus was "imagine how good Sing Star will be for you!"

          So what? You've brought a *lot* of friends, right? Gang up and beat the ones who come for a fight. ;P

            With all the mid year sales and interest free deals, we've decided that it's high time to upgrade to a plasma TV. Which prompts the question, 42" or 50"? I'm leaning toward 50", after all, bigger is usually better, but we'd be sitting at about 2.7 to 3m away from it, so I'm worried that it might be a bit too big. Is there really such a thing as too big? Cheers, Anthony.

            I just bought a 32" HDTV* and it is ample. We sit about 2.5m away from it and it looks good. Any closer and standard-def content shows its problems and HD content is overwhelming. I had a look at a 40" but it was just too big for the situation. * LCD thoug, not plasma.

              Hmm, don't watch that much TV since most of it's absolute rubbish so not really applicable.

              Does a Series III[^] count? :rolleyes: I personally find driving them, especially off-road, much more exhiliarating than driving at high speed. The other things I find much more fun than driving at speed are this[^] and this[^] both of which we have here (plus a 3.5 tonne digger).  Ironically Nigel Mansel was let loose in a standard (nothing special) tractor in a ploughed field and he said even after F1 he'd never experienced acceleration like it, if you get the right type of ground under the wheels of a tractor there is no tyre-slip just pure acceleration.  I mean my mother has managed to pull a wheelie in our tractor and that had ¾ of a tonne weight on the front but a small topper (flat mower) on the back (weights much less, maybe under ¼ of a tonne).

                  Generally, so the screen covers 30-40% of your width of vision. I have a 42" plasma and I think either size is good at that distance. Elaine (square eyed fluffy tigress)

                    Yes there is such a thing as too big. 50 inches at 3m or 9 feet is perfect.

                      See this article[^] for one opinion on recommended screen size vs. viewing distance.

                        I just bought a 47" LCD last week (http://www.westinghousedigital.com/details.aspx?itemnum=59[^]). I sit about 10' away and don't find it too large - just awesome. More important than size these days is quality. Just about every brand has known issues, regardless of the pricepoint you are looking at. I would suggest reading up on the models you are looking at first. AVS Forums is a good place for this - http://www.avsforum.com/[^].
