Sorry, but 61" is not :pimp: in comparison to 110", now that’s :pimp:
the 1080p is close, but almost nothing is out in that format yet.
Not a bad TV actually, I’ve thought about getting a smaller one about that size for day-2-day viewing and leave the 110" for movies/games only…

Those werent demo shots 🙂 I had just finished connections, that’s what was on.
It’s just a hair too big for the seating shown, they are ~7’ distance. Prime seating is not shown in pics (10-14’)
61" is definately the maximum for this room, but I’m okay with that. Friggin dwarfs the 75 gallon tank that used to be the focal point of the room. Not too mention, We worked a deal on the price… 61" was only ~$200 more then 50". No brainer.
Rainforset needs to be cleaned up still as well. That vine stretches ~8-10’ in either direction.
1080p is nice, but i agree that there is not enough support out there. 1080 was _not_ the selling point for us.
It’s great @ 700, 10,000:1 contrast, 7 panel color wheel. We spent a few hours @ 6 or 7 different retail shops over the last week, We (wife & I) agreed that Sammy’s DLP was the best. Particularly the XX87W models. 10,000:1 \> alot of other brands, technologies & models. We actually dialed it down a bit.
Now I just need to update the adelphia dig. box. Need HDMI, or at least Component outputs ☹ And… BuickGN, I know Sat \> Digi Cable, but it’s a compromise that I have to deal with for a bit.

Beck is actually freakishly tall, accentuated by his double digit weight.

There are actually formula’s and charts that determine seating distance from a set TV size, as well as proper speaker placements for true surround sound systems.
My TV is too large for the room, but personally I don’t care. I have a 110" TV with a 15’ viewing distance.

yes exactly, i think the proper distance for a 42 is like 8 feet or something.
my 50 is at around 9 feet, a bit close but its fine.
62 and 10 feet is wayyyyy to close im thinking
