≈M≈... I have a big LCD in my living room hooked to my laptop and I sit 6' away so it's great for reading the newspaper or whatever. I am presently 2' from a 32" LCD as I type. Same deal.

As for TV, I watch some sports and some news and I record late night comedy talk shows for later viewing. Documentaries are required viewing... science, history and the like.

I suppose I watch TV about 15 hours per week and that goes to 20 hours during NFL playoff season.
