I've got a 25" CRT TV near the end of my bed.
As in one of the example's Black mentions, my TV is on a stereo cabinet against an opposite wall which is three feet from the end of my bed. That puts the viewing distance at about nine feet. Really smaller than I want with the 25" XBR.
Since it's 4:3 and any flatscreen will be 16:9 or so, I need a set larger than 25" or the images won't be as tall. It will be like going from a 25" to a 20".
A 32" widescreen will give me a picture with the same height as my XBR, and be a bit wider. It will not be nearly as overwhelming as some people might think.
