32" TV Owners

Gibby · 14 Mar 2006 at 14:26

I am about to buy the LG 32LX2R TV and attempt to permanently use it as my monitor and TV etc. Does anyone else do this with another 32" TV? If so how do you find the res etc? Are things too big? Is the screen too big to use? When using windows I will be sitting about 3.5 / 4 foot from the screen.

Thanks in advance.

So if you were to have it on a desk and use it as a PC do you think a size of 26" would be better??

I have a wireless keyboard and mouse so I could do that. I mainly want the big screen for watching DVD's / things off the PC. I do some development work from time to time. How feasible is doing any kind of work about 3 ft away from this at a desk? Also the text on the screen doesn't look huge in all the screenshots I have seen, is this just the case in the pictures? For example if you were 3ft away would the text be huge? Are you able to play games in front of yours? Say if you had it on a desk?

Thanks

Theres some people who say they are used to the 3007 dell monitor which is 30". Is the reason you couldn't have this at a desk because of the res?
My desk would allow my eyes to be 39" away from the monitor (approx

), which is a fair way back.
I am going into Richer Sounds tomorrow armed with a laptop to see if I can hack it at that distance. I will go with a tape measure and measure exactly 39" from the TV!!
