The place for 32" plasma

Thank you for welcoming me to 2003. :) Back then, if I remember,
this same TV was state of the art and a $4K-$5K purchase. How fast things
change.

For whatever reason, I've felt that the 42" has been forced down our throats as the "entry level" dimensions for a screen. 42" is the Hummer H1 of the marketing minds in the consumer electronics industry - its what everyone SHOULD want! Not true! The problem is 42" only works
well in LARGE homes - and most of America does not have Great Rooms or
dedicated theatre rooms in their homes. Further, the trend of using Home Equity Loans to acquire this equipment is now LONG OVER with.

I'm an urban apartment dweller. 42" is an invasion of my space. It's too
much, and given that I'm 5,6,7' away from the screen - 32" is fine for me!
I want other things on my wall - art, pictures - there's other things in my living room I need room for: speakers, tube amps, more tube amps, a vinyl collection, furniture, friends to come and visit. :)

I think there are some other advantages to 32" for those who find it a
good fit: less power, less heat, more options open for furnishings if
you dont wall mount, not a giant financial impact if you apartment gets
broken into!
