Hi Geeks & Geekesses
Well it looks like I'm finally going to relegate my 29" Panasonic CRT with its high-tech composite terminals to the back bedroom and replacing it with the latest 'V' series Panasonic Plasma. The problem is size! The room is only 3.6mtrs across. So to try and maximize the feeling of space I'll mount the TV on the wall which means my eye to screen distance would be about 2.9 - 3.0 mtrs.. But what size? According to fellow Home Theater fans to get the optimum size to distance of 1.5 my TV would have diagonal size of 2.0mtrs !! WAF just went out the window! I was thinking of a compromise size of 55", whats that, about 1.4mtrs. The wife though will only go as big as 50" (1.27mtrs).
So what do you think the optimal size in actual every day use should be. Does sitting 1.5 from your large TV just seem a little daft to get the 'cinema' experience or does practicality take over. What size did you want and what size did you end up feeling most comfortable with.
Thanks
