In my home office I sit 8 ft from my desk. I bought a 26inch Sony LCD. I regret not getting a 32inch. On most broadcasts, for proper ratios, the signal gets blocked on both left and right sides, creating a square picture. Also, the screen sizes on LCDs are measured differently than on traditional box/tube tv's, so your 32in JVC will have a larger viewing size than a 32in LCD. I would get the bigger tv.
LCD Screen Size
I'm dying to dump my old boxy curved screen 32 inch JVC T.V. I live in a little place and my watching chair is 8-12 ft from the t.v. I'd love at least a 32 inch widescreen LCD but thinking my budget will only allow 23-26 inches. Do think this will be too small? I was hoping the widescreen cofiguration would offset it somewhat. Thanks.
