I'm getting to that point as well..

In fact I do not have ANY TV right now and was kind of
shopping for a new flatscreen model

BUT.... I am thinking it might be best to buy a bigger
PC monitor for my desktop instead and watch THAT! That
is.... move desktop and big monitor in the living
room...

What you say?


The Sony "PlayStation 3" has a Web Browser feature

The Nintendo "Wii" also has some Internet functionality

So... If you have an existing ISP and an 32" HDTVs...

A Flat Screen PC Monitor around 24" would be
good for Viewing Internet provided Video Content
at a Desk-Top PC. [a 2~3 Foot Viewing Distance]

But most likely a 32" HDTV connected to PC that
is Connected to the Internet would be better for
setting down in a room and viewing from across
the room. [a 7~12 Foot Viewing Distance]

The HP TouchSmart Monitors might be nice...

We had some in-house Care Providers who were
keen to Watch Video Content on their iPhone size
and type Video Players -that-was-just-not-for-me-
But then I don't like Listening to 'Tunes' on an iPod
with Ear-Buds either : Give me two Loud Speakers
across the Room and an Easy-Chair to set-in and
relax to the Music too...

mostly depends on the-how and the-where of
you wanting to 'view' the "video content" ~ RHF
