from reading this forum I know im very lucky that my wife is as interested in av as i am.however we are at loggerheads in the fact that shes all up for a 50in screen but i am sure our room is not big enough due to veiwing distances we only really sit 9ft from where the new tv will be sighted we currently watch on 32in crt. we have been av nuts since dvds introduction now its time for bluray and skyhd but I feel we will get better results from a 42in or 46in full hd tv.have already upgraded to denon avr1909 and sony bluray,just wondered if anybody else shares my concern or should i just make my life a hell of a lot easier and go with the 50.when posting replys please remember she will also read this..................cheers
