just a quick poll to see I'm I'm weird or not

I do
Mostly because World of Warcraft in 56" is amazing.

I do too. It took me a while to get the set-up right. (I had the wrong sound/video card) My dell xps (hdmi out)- onkyo 805 in- 805 out to- 52" Aquos. I have a blue-tooth keyboard and mouse and love the set up.

Always. This is due to the fact I could not find an LCD widescreen monitor with speakers to my liking. So I bought a 19" LCD HDTV to do the job.

I could not do larger because nothing else would have fit in the hutch of my old computer desk which was made to hold 4:3 monitors.

My main bedroom HDTV is the 26" Vizio next to the computer desk which is hooked up as a secondary monitor, but rarely used because I often have the TV on as I use the computer.
