Awesome article on resolution, viewing distance, and size.
Each line represents the distance at which you would be able to tell the difference between that and the lower resolution. Eg. at the 720p line you would be able to tell the difference between 480p and 720p, but would not be able to tell the difference between 720 and 1080. This is of course calculated(?) for a 50" TV.
So future proofing is nice - but do you really need 1080p?
It also has a bit about "comfort zone" which is important too, ie. how big do you want the screen to look / how far away should you sit.Q9450 + TRUE, G.Skill 2x2GB DDR2, GTX 560, ASUS X48, 1TB WD Black, Windows 7 64-bit, LG M2762D-PM 27" + 17" LG 1752TX, Corsair HX620, Antec P182, Logitech G5 (Blue)
