What type of display do you mainly use for DVD viewing?
Please describe the type of TV set you utilize for DVD viewing, not the best set you own, but the one that is regularly used for DVD viewing.
If you do not use your best set for DVD viewing, then why not?
Model number and how long you have owned it would be interesting to note too. Photos would be nice too.
Here I start:
KD-34XBR960 - since July 2004

57 inch Hitachi HDTV, bought 2 months ago, built in August. Also do quite a bit of casual watching on my Philips 27 inch flat screen because it's on my desk with a built in DVD player. 2 new TVs in the last 6 months

26" Samsung 16:9 HDTV. It's only 2 weeks old. It is perfect for my bedroom, which is where I do the majority of my dvd watching.

32" Sony WEGA Flatscreen. We've got a 36" as well with a DVD player hooked to it, but mine's the only one that has a 5.1 sound system.
Been looking for a 42" 16:9 HD. Just kind of pricing them and checking dimensions. I only have 43.5" clearance in my cubbyhole, and only models with bottom speakers or no speakers at all will fit there. Most 42" LCD TVs are about 47" wide due to side mounted speakers.
