LCD Screen Size

As a owner of a rear projection LCD at 60 inches I will say that it really depends on the Viewer. I cant imagine less than HUGE, but my next door neighbor uses a 24 inch LCD and just loves it, however I easily prefer mine.

Remember that WIDE SCREEN is a format that is not often used on general tv programs and a fair share of movies, resulting in a smaller overall picture.

When I sold electronics I recommended that clients purchase as big as they can afford without stretching the budget.

It's tough going down in size. In this case, bigger IS better.

GMC, you were right! Thanks all, I think I'll try to swing the 32 inch widescreen. I watch mostly movies and all or at least 99% of my movie dvd's are widescreen as I detest pan and scan. I do watch some tv series dvd's as well. Anyone have a particular brand preference. I have seen a 32 inch Magnovox for 849.00 Costco apparently has a Texas Insruuments for 799.00, sam esize as above. I don't think I should spend more than a grand. I know this limits me but it'a all I can do.

I just read this:
