meh. nothing wrong with a 32" 1080p "monitor" that is 1.5~2 ft away from you. Like someone else mentioned earlier it's just a matter of what you're used to.

I started with a 19" 4:3 LCD, sitting about the same distance away - it was clear with big text (since the res was only 1280x1024) but I felt that it lacked the room to fit more stuff on it.

Upgraded to a 24" widescreen a year later, still sitting the same distance away but with 1920x1200 the texts are just too small (I know some of you guys will just increase the DPI, but what's the point of that when you are trying to fit more stuff on the screen?).

Then about 1.5 years ago I got a killer deal on a 32" 1080p TV and everything was just perfect - text size is perfect, got lots of real estate to fit everthing on it, and can still sit back into my chair about 1.5 ~2 ft away, all this without moving my head around like you guys said you would.

Btw, I have 20/20 vision with my glasses on. Nothing wrong with me eyes. :-p There's always the brightness setting that you can lower if you find it too blinding... my TV is calibrated and I can sit in front of it for hours without feeling strained or anything.
