Wow, I guess none of us are happy.  I totally a agree with the OP.  I have a 
27" TV that I watch from about 13" away.  I upgraded from a 20" at the same 
distance not too long ago.  Under .21 and earlier I had hacked huge fonts 
into the blue theme.  I haven't tweaked .22 yet, but I currently find that I 
am squinting far too often.

I know lots of you will say "get a bigger TV," but 27 inches was the biggest 
that my wife would agree to.  She doesn't want the TV to dominate the living 
room.  It's a living room, not a home theatre.   Anyway, we already shelled 
out for the new TV as a family Christmas present in 2007 or 2008, and we're 
not going to shell out again until this one breaks.  (It was $75 on 
kijiji ;) )
