Size does matter!
While working out of town, my wife called and told me our main TV went out (12 year old 35" JVC). I phone ordered a new TV to be delivered tomorrow. Home for the weekend and wanted to hook something up to watch last nights baseball game and todays football game.
So I pulled my "garage" set out. A true classic. A 19" Sony Trinitron. Mechanical "push button" channel changing and no remote.
Now hooking this 19" set up to the digital cable revealed a pretty good picture. But "it's so small". Moved the couch up about a foot, but still.
We are planning on moving, so didn't want to go hog wild on a TV right now, so having delivered a 32" basic JVC set.
Didn't someone have the link for a chart that showed distance from TV to size of screen? Starting to look for a nice set for our next house and want big, but want quality.
