How Big is Too Big?



As the resolution has increased for video monitors, I have been using a 32" 1080 HDTV for a computer monitor, which seems to work just fine.

In fact, now that I am becoming a bit far sighted, I am wondering if I might even use a BIGGER HDTV for both cable TV and PC applications, streaming video etc etc.

Have any of you experimented with using one or more 1080 screens, 32" or more?

How about an array of screens - 40? 46?

Thanks for any ideas.

Yep, running all of a Mac Mini (which can output native into 1080p), DVD and cable into a 46" Sony. Streaming NetFlix, all music ripped lossless, the internet at your fingertips, any other software-based platform you can dream up, the whole shooting match -- and very common these days (and the basic premise behind HTPC, home theater pc, applications). So yes. Definitely.

That sounds like a lot of fun and glad to hear it is working for you.

For my next system, I have actuallly been thinking of an array of 3 x 46" LCDs, mainly because only a 46 Samsung which had an unusually clean and thin bezel and case to my liking....

Funny how you find so many things on the web which suggest that anything bigger than 26 is too big, "like watching tennis" etc etc.

Perhaps people were just jealous when the bigger 1080 monitors were still prohibitively expensive?

Could you tell me the model?

No such thing as too big. As long as you can see the entire screen, you should be fine. Sometimes I hook my laptop up to my projector and movie screen and cruise the web or answer emails.
