definately need a bigger TV

what is your viewing distance?

now that there are no "electron beam in your eye" problems, people tend to use a diagonal of about 1/2-1/3 times the viewing distance

so for three meters viewing distance for example, a 37" would be barely adequate and 26" out of the question... 26" is even smaller than the classic-size of 29" for CRT

size gives a nice immersion feeling (and nowadays doesn't hurt the eyes as I said)... like when changing to a much better (and bigger) monitor for computers feels like upgrading the whole computer
