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 ;) )
