Recommended Viewing Distances
Wide-screen televisions showing high-resolution content and HDTV look better than regular sets, allowing you to sit closer and experience a more immersive, theaterlike picture.
With wide-screen television sets showing DVD, Blu-ray or HDTV, you can sit as close as 1.5 times the screen's diagonal measurement and still not notice much of a loss in quality, while sitting farther away than three times the screen size means you're likely to miss out on the immersive feel. Here's a rundown of minimum and maximum recommended viewing distances for wide-screen television sets.
6:9 TV diagonalscreen size Min. viewing distance
(in feet) Max. viewing distance
(in feet)
30 3.8 7.6
34 4.3 8.5
Size and your room
Generally, 32-inch and smaller sets are great for bedrooms or guest rooms but too small for the main living room. Television sets with bigger screens are large enough for the whole family to enjoy and will probably be too much for most small bedrooms.
If you're mounting the set inside an entertainment center, be sure it fits in every dimension; also, leave an inch or two on all sides so that the TV has enough ventilation. If you're getting a bigger set, you may want to consider a dedicated stand; many TV makers sell matching stands that increase the aesthetic appeal of their hefty boxes.

TV buying advice! Which model should I get?
TV Buying Advice at Sam's -To doorbuster or not, that is the question.
I am looking at getting a 42" Philips LCD with 1080p 120 mhz tv tomorrow. I looked in the store, and decided I really liked it. It was marked at $1,097. I figured I would wait to see the Black Friday info on here. And when I looked, I saw that Sam's was offering a Philips 42" LCD1080p for $798 as a doorbuster. So I thought, hell yeah - I'm all set!
But then, I discovered there were two different models:
The more expensive one:

And the cheaper one.

My question is that since I probably wont be buying another screen for a while, should I pay $300 for the more expensive one. I am a big movie buff with 20/20 vision and a Ps3 for Blu-Rays and games. I also play video games a lot. Should I spring for what seems like a better model? I wish they just knocked some money off the model they had in stock. Damn! What are your thoughts?

TV Buying Advice? PLEASE ANSWER?
I am buying a new TV. I am on a budget and can't spend too much. I was wondering if I should buy a Dynex or Insignia 1080p LCD Tv, or a 720p Panasonic Plasma? They are the same size, and Panasonic is a more reputable brand.d
p.s. I do know that 1080p is better

19 Dec 2011 at 12:00am Was 2011 the year of the irreverent picture book? In the spring, there was ''Go the - to Sleep,'' the foulmouthed book that spoke to weary parents everywhere and became an instant best seller.

STATE OF THE ART; Big Screen, Powered By iPhone
8 Dec 2011 at 12:00am 
Everything changed when people started writing their own apps for the iPhone. Suddenly its talents as a phone -- which, at least at the outset, weren't particularly impressive -- paled in comparison to its abilities as a computer. These days, this business of phone-as-brain goes way beyond stand-alone apps. Nowadays, the iPhone handles the...Read more...

Anthony Hardwick never thought of himself as an activist or even much of an organizer. He grew up in Kansas City, Mo., graduated from Park University in Missouri in 2009, and looked for a job by scouring the Internet for cities with low unemployment rates. He settled on Omaha, where he found two -- as a shopping cart attendant at Target and a...Read more...

WILLEMSTAD, CURAÇAO -- Christopher Columbus's son Diego called this narrow strip of land 65 kilometers off Venezuela a ''useless'' Caribbean island. No gold, cacti instead of lush tropical forests, and not enough water to grow much of anything. So, as time passed and neighboring Aruba developed tourism and vacation properties, Curaçao went a...Read more...
SPORTS OF THE TIMES; Gasps From the Grandstand After the Invoice Arrives
10 Apr 2011 at 12:00am Sticker shock keeps getting worse for some sports fans. Out of nowhere, in recent weeks, my personal e-mail received unsolicited cries from the heart from friends who are longtime ticket-holders -- the loyal of the loyal. At least in Gouge City, some fans are being billed for 100 percent increases or more just to hold on to the same seats they have...Read more...
