So I have been generally happy with my 32" screen since I bought it back in 2005, but over the past several months I found it more and more annoying that I couldn't see very well from my couch.
Over the past few weeks I really was feeling annoyed since the cold weather is making gaming more critical, more of my friends are online, etc. Well best buy decided to have a sale on hdtvs. This was my time to pounce.
So I get to best buy and what brought me in was the idea of a 46" 1080p lcd for $500. I get there and start looking around. Immediately a sales rep asks if he can help me, so I tell him I am interested in a flatpanel tv.
He starts talking about this and that, which I am barely listening to since I am well informed when it comes to technology. At any rate I see a 55" on sale for $850. This caught my eye since 55" is what I really want.
So I am about to pull the trigger on it when I find out it only has optical audio out. This is a problem for me since my receiver is old as dirt and has no optical inputs. The sales rep jumps into action and suggests that he may ne able to get me the insignia equivalent to what I was looking for.
Great, he finds one, it has analog audio out, and I'm out of my mind excited. I finally have it I thought, the tv I have been looking for at a price I wanted.
So he brings the box out and I think "oh boy gonna be a tight fit" in my '08 civic Si four door. Yeah not even close.
So I call my roommate who has a jeep Cherokee and it barely fit. Got it home, set it up, and loaded up battlefield bad company 2. Wow, I am psyched! I load up some other games, sweet!
At this point I'm ready to setup the genesis, Saturn, and dreamcast. Wait a second, there is no composite input! Nooo! So, quickly I try to figure out how to resolve this issue since I won't relegate my segas to the 32".
Well it turns out there are composite to hdmi upconverter available, so I ordered one. Fortunately I have the er converter for the genesis so I hooked that up in the meantime and loaded up ghouls and ghosts and it was epic!
So basically the point here is if you are looking for a way to enhance your gaming experience and don't have a big tv, go get one it will enhance your entire game library.

Nice improvement over the 32. I'm thinking of upgrading from my 37 in the living room down the road. We just bought comfy leather recliners and reclined back it is hard to read some of the tinnnnyyyyy print in modern games. Lets see a picture of g and g on the flatscreen.

I somewhat recently went from a ~23in CRT to 37 1080p LCD. It does make all the difference in the world.
Specifically with newer games. Older ones still look fine on smaller screens. Text doesn't looks like a blurred streak for example.
