Re: which tv to buy, 36xbr450 or KP53HS30

The idea is that the DTV resolution is good enough to give you relative screen size perspective comparable to movie theatre screens. For example, on a (small) 30" widescreen set, the actual dimensions of the screen are about 26" x 15". Multiplying the vertical dimensions by factor of 3, you get 45" or about 4 feet. So, the optimum viewing distance for a 30" widescreen is about 4 feet. Now, that seemed too closely to me at first, but after trying it out myself, I became convinced that it actually works. So, for a person viewing the TV from 10' away, the larger RPT unit is probably a better choice.
