Gaming monitor/ t.v
Osmo:
I feel that anything above 32 inches is way to big for me.

I use my 60" TV as a PC monitor, and I have trouble seeing normal text. It would be impossible on a 32" screen running at 1080p.

32 for desk use manily,it wont be far from my bed, i got a 42 inch downstairs.
Also that's what i thought initially but people are saying that 1920x1080 is a huge difference from 1280x720 no matter how large the screen is.
btw did you get the message i sent?

Most "problems" have been fixed in plasmas. It's just that LCDs have dropped significantly to be comparable at price point.
Samsung LCDs are great AFTER series 5. Pre series 5 are quite meh. Not bad, but are comparable to almost all other brands save for the stupid brands like Vizeo etc.
In all honesty, don't be dumb and buy a 1080p 60Hz if you want "future" HD. Look into the 120Hz ones.

Can't you get a 120 Hz 1080p?
Also please elaborate on the difference between the different samsung series like whats the point? series 5, series 6 and series 7?

1080p as far as I know has 60Hz, 120Hz and 240Hz. So like I said. Go for the 120. It's probably the best performance vs price at this stage of the game. Yes, a 60Hz might be cheaper, but if you want it to be your "future" pc one as well, you might want to invest the tiny bit extra to ensure extra usage.
Seriously 5 v 6 v 7. It's like ANY other series upgrade. It's just that IMO anything under series 5 has color contrast that doesn't sit well with me. As if there's excess whites or something. Might be something you can tweak... but... why? I first noticed it in Asia when I saw them side to side vs Aquos as well as compared to each other. Pre 5 (ie series 3 or 4) border lines the area where you normally don't notice it until you compare vs something like Vizio/Vizeo? where you just know the color is shitty as hell and you know you downgraded big time on purpose.
But in all seriousness, if you're going to do what you propose, you might find more pleasure in getting a nice screen and using a projector instead of a TV.

Sony do hove some 32" in 1080p, but those are old.
mgz:
just keep in mind like ive said in many other tv/monitor posts, DO YOUR BEST to get it from a large department store like best buy if you can. Its worth the slightly overpaying to have the ability to take it back after you bring it home and say FUCK YOU ASSHOLES TAKE IT BACK I DONT LIKE THE COLORS THEY ARE OFF.
Or for 1 or 2 dead pixels, if you buy a tv or monitor and it has 1 or 2 dead pixels you cant return it as defective. You will in most cases be charged a 15-25% restocking fee because most places say until 13-18 dead pixels its not defective. So a few off colored splotches in your tv arent defective until there is enough.
In the event it is actually defective from the likes of a newegg, you are stuck footing the bill to ship it back. Which i guarantee you unless you ship a large amount of shit through UPS or Fedex you insurance of 500-1000 dollars is going to run you at least 8 or 10$ on top of a oversized box so expect a 50-60$ shipping bill back even if it was shipped to you for free
