It's not a wind up. Really can't see what would be funny about it?
I haven't been to an opticians for a long time - can't actually remember when the last time was, but talking many years. There's nothing wrong with my eye sight, I don't wear glasses or contacts and can see objects that are distant just fine. For example, I can read a car registration plate easily several meters away. But when watching TV, I just prefer to be up close, it's almost like sitting in the cinema and I like that experience. I watched a film last night for nearly 1.5 hours and had no eye strain with me sitting around 60 cms away from the screen, and I only got up once for a toilet break. Luckily the gf is away so it wasn't a problem, but I really need to get the situation resolved by the weekend as she's back Saturday afternoon. I think i'll buy 2 sets, one will be 48-49" for me, and the other will be 55" for her. I don't want to risk going for a 55" for me as I'm used to a 49" and think the bigger size won't be suited for my viewing style. I'll probably have to end up putting my set in the spare bedroom and watching there as I don't think 2 sets will look right in the living room, despite the room being fairly big.
