Indeed
I would guess many homes are too small to accomodate a large screen. I
find it uncomfortable to watch a large wide screen from only several
feet away.

We would be quite happy with a 20-23ins lcd since we are usually
sitting within 5 ft of the screen. Difficult to get any further away.
We often watch on the 17in computer monitor if we are recording a prog
on the recorder. It's almost adequate. The only advance I would
consider would be 3D holographic projection. Anything else is
superfluous to my needs.
