I sit anywhere from 6-10 feet depending on seating and it's fine, SD isn't amazing but it's not bad either - HD looks great and I now actually make a point of watching the HD channels where on my old 32" it was never really worth the hassle. You'll adjust to whatever you get - I go round people's houses with 40" screens now and think "eww, it's tiny I can barely make out the detail", my old 32" is now relegated to the kitchen

Have a projector in the man room - it's about an 8" picture, I then walk into the living room with the 50" and think "eww, it's tiny I can barely make out the detail"... Weight is not a prob on newer screens, I got a wall bracket suitable for 50kg and it's not even remotely stressed - worth noting: Never buy rubbish brackets from Comet etc. - they all cost £100+ for even the most basic ones, I paid £30 for a 50" bracket (almost flat to wall, have to use the side HDMI port now!) from Asda and £20 for the 32" one in the kitchen, much better price and work perfectly (even tilt-able).

AE jim you have an 8" projector thats a bit small isn't it i'd take it back & get a larger one.

 

[AEJim]

Yes, I realised I placed it too close to the wall so moved it back about 12 feet and now I have an 8' picture

 

[AEJim]

Ok, highly scientific test for you - iPhone 4 cam from 6 feet away, first image Sky HD, second Sky SD - found something with reasonable detail for comparison ("The Duchess" - I was bored this morning

)

HD, 6 Feet.

SD, 6 Feet.

Ok, I could have got the exact angles better (excuse the old TV unit, only got the screen on the wall this weekend so need something more modern) but you can see SD is softer, colours not quite as accurate, but still perfectly watchable even from this close.

thanks for that

 

[AEJim]

Images shrunk down a bit now (there were a tad larger than the borders before - not sure if that's just Photobucket or mods playing) so a little harder to see but you get the point

 

[John Duncan]

That was mods...

JohnDuncan:That was mods...

Cheers for clearing that up John

, would have left me wondering otherwise...
