I didn’t come up with that myself (credit to Ken Klippenstein—no relation to those other two guys who are back on Twitter now), but it’s pretty good, isn’t it?
The first flat screen tv I bought was a 41 inch Samsung which I thought was so big even though I was watching from about 10 yards away. My eyes were much better back in 2005, being only 55 years old. I later moved to a 55 inch plasma five years later which was that big I thought I might need to get new glasses to cope with the impact. Now I have a Sony 75 inch monster on the wall about four yards from my computer station chair and again I was almost intimidated when I first got it. Funny thing is, the 41 and 55 inch screens now seem relatively compact, I am thinking of upgrading my pc screen from 32 inch to 42 inch, and the 75 inch critter seems like I could maybe move to even bigger! It takes a short period of time to go from "Oh my god, this thing is HUGE!!!" to "oh yeah, it's the tv, nice." Also at 72, my eyes appreciate the increasing size and crisp resolution of the images a lot more. Enjoy your screen Maya, and remember, 75 is the new 41, at least in tvs!

Nice post! I *do not* you are stupid for buying a big TV!
