So, when do you guys think 32" 1080p LCD's are coming out? - Blu-ray Forum

Or are they already available.

I plan on buying one, preferably from Sony, that's why this question.

thanx

In LCDs Sony has from 40" to 52" in 1080p sets.

There's a Westinghouse 37" and a Samsung 24". Not seen a 32" yet. I want a 170"

For the human eye to gain any benefit from greater than 720p resolution you must be sitting closer than (about) 2x the screen diagonal from your display. So, for a 30" display, you must be viewing from closer than about 6 feet or so for any benefit.

People tend to completely screw up the correlation of screen size and viewing distance. The number 1080p is almost worthless on its own. It is like how a black and white photo in a newspaper is made up of thousands of tiny black dots. If you looked at it through a microscope, it would be a mess, if you look at it from 10 feet away, it would be perfect. At some point in between you hit that magic point where it still looks perfect, but you can't get ANY closer without it looking a bit worse. That's the edge that must be considered when considering the difference between a SDTV, 720p HDTV, and 1080p HDTV.

In a bedroom, for example, where many people view from 14 feet away in bed and are viewing a 42" plasma, in almost every case a 854x480 EDTV will look 100% as sharp as a 42" HDTV plasma - or a 1080p LCD of the same size! Don't believe it? Go into a store and actually stand that far away from several displays and see for yourself.

For me? I wouldn't really consider 1080p a huge benefit under 50" in almost any circumstance. I will likely purchase a 60"+ lcd flat panel in the next few years and I will definitely go 1080p for front projection. But, under 50" I will stick with 720p and 480p, for the money.

Fire the Deci Laser!

Now we're talking!

I watch movies at 1.5x the image's picture height

The Chicken Little demo disc in the Samsung player/display combo at the Best Buy at that viewing distance looked sharper than the Happy Feet IMAX presentation.
