Helpful chart for choosing TV size/resolution

[Beta Man]

This shows size, resolution, and seating distance. This helps if you're one of the people who want to take advantage on a big 720P at a steal of a price. Let me know what you think.

If your screen-size/distance is more (farther away) than the recommended distance, your eyes will be saturated with detail as you've reachwd the resolution limit of an image in that format. Which mean a TV can produce more detail than you can actually make out at that distance, and you have to move closer to see more details.

20 inch TV= 7 feet
