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.

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?
"46 Samsung which had an unusually clean and thin bezel"

Could you tell me the model?
TIA

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.

A good question as I have been trying to figure that out myself since seeing one in the store.

I believe it was a UN46C6500VF or a UN46C6900, but looking at the specs, I cant figure out why the 6900 costs more and apparently weighs almost 10 pounds more....the only obvious spec is a higher contrast ratio.

For both, however, or the one I noticed in the store, they have a more elegant and expensive looking brushed aluminum bezel, rather than the typical black plastic.

Re "thin" I am also referring to the back to front dimension, where from the side they are significantly thinner than say, most of the Sonys I saw.

This I thought might help make my desktop a bit less crowded.
