We had an interesting day. We have been thinking about getting a nice HD flat screen TV to replace our ancient CRT devices. We both spent a lot of time reading about things on the internet and decided to venture out to Fry's (one of my favorite places to go) to assess the situation. Mind you, Ginny insisted we were just going to look. Well, we spent plenty of time looking. Finally, Ginny decided (without my assistance becausse I was still in the aforementioned "just looking" mode, as commanded) we had seen enough and that it was time to buy. So we walked out with a 60 inch Samsung, Bose speaker system and Blu Ray player. Thank heaven we just went to look. Anyway, our viewing distance to the screen is just 7 feet. When we set the thing up and played a video, it was just like watching stuff on the big screen. We ordered up HD satellite (to come next week) and also made a subsequent trip to Fry's to get a 47" TV for the bedroom. It is fun being in the 21st century.
