Ultimate Electronics delivered my 55" Mitsubishi Silver Series RPTV yesterday. The picture is GREAT! After making the initial tweaks (turning down brightness/contrast, adjusting basic convergence), my wife and I were excited to toss in a DVD and watch our first movie on it.
Wow - were we disappointed to find that we almost couldn't find a comfortable position to watch the movie. The main seating area is about 120 inches from the screen. It just seems like we had a hard time seeing all of the picture without moving our eyes around. I checked out some of the distance calculators and I think I'd have a migraine if I sat at the recommended Max THX viewing distance of 6.7 feet!!!!
Do these things just take some getting used to? Or do I need a smaller television??? I'm just a little bummed that here I am with the new HDTV I've been waiting for and I'm not really looking forward to watching it tonight.
