Okay, I'll come right out and say it:
I'm a noob.
When it comes to high definition televisions, I am the noobiest noob who's ever noobed.
I'm trying to decide what's the best possible TV for my situation.
I've got my eyes on a 42" 720p LG. This TV will be going in my bedroom. I will use it mainly for playing my PS3 and my 360, and also for watching standard DVDs and Blu Rays.
My recliner will be positioned approximately 6 or 7 feet away from the television. When I am reclined (which will be most of the time), my face will be about 8 feet away.
What I want to know is, will I still enjoy the picture of a TV that size from that distance? Or will I be irritated by choppy resolution?
I know that TV's in the 30" class don't really benefit much from 1080p, but I'm not so familiar with the 40" class and whether or not it makes a big difference. Also, there's a BIG price jump between the 1080p and 720p models, and I'm on a rather limited budget as is.
So long story short: If I buy this TV tomorrow, should I be happy with my purchase?
