Conversely, in a standard sized living room, sitting too close to a huge screen would be like sitting six rows in front of the first row at the cinema. You'd strain your neck scanning from left to right and up and down and still miss some of the action.

Ah! More apples and pears!
We're talking about screen dimensions here, the diagonal or viewable area, not the depth, which is the difference between having a CRT and a flat panel display. In your case that's almost 60 inches - five feet - are you sure your old set was that deep?
Of course a flat panel will be a bit further away if it's mounted on the wall so a slightly bigger screen might be of benefit. If you go for a projector screen then you can save on several rolls of wallpaper too!  |
