Distance makes a big difference. I have a 17" widescreen LCD for my bedroom and at 6 feet away, the picture looks great straight from the cable and DVD. In the living room, there is a 51" Sony. We sit about 9 feet away and HD looks incredible. For everyday viewing of SD, I tend to push the couch back a bit to hide the distortion. In the movie room is a 100" screen in HD and the couch is about 14 feet back. The image looks great with no screen-door effect from the projector (the distance from the screen helps with this ALOT!!). Probably the best investment for a HDTV, even more than the size, is a calibration disc. Avia is the way to go. Get one of these and you'll be happier with your 37" HDTV that looks true to life than your neighbor with the 70" crappy picture.

"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
