[QUOTE="Boilermaker, post: 76124, member: 10306"] 32" tv at 8 meters? That's an awful long way back for that size tv. [URL="http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/ISEO-rgbtcspd/learningcenter/home/tv_faq.html"]Optimal viewing[/URL] distance for a tv of that size is about 7 feet (or less than a third of how far back you are sitting). According to [URL="http://www.myhometheater.homestead.com/viewingdistancecalculator.html"]this calculator[/URL], the maximum viewing distance would be 12 feet, about half of 8 meters. I guess the point is you are in an unusual situation with your setup. Unless a skinner is in a similar situation, you'll be hard pressed to find a skin that will meet your needs. You could always edit the fonts.xml file yourself, bump up the font size in each font and see if it helps. It may not look as pretty, and if resized too much some text may get cut off because it exceeds the space alloted for it. [/QUOTE]
