Inane video game question

No wonder he gets shot so easily. I have a 32" and I sit right in front of it.

[teddy037.2]

so you play about 2 ft from the screen?

no, I just lean in all squinty-eyed when important-ish text shows on the screen

so I CAN blame my suckocity on the equiptment? nice! 

that does make me feel better about the guys I killed to level up

i've got a 37" HD and i sit about 6-8 ft away.

maybe i should move to the floor in front of the coffee table and be 3 ft away.

[teddy037.2]

so...

I think I am getting the vizio SV320XVT.

foot of my bed's going to be about 5ft away, and since I have a GC, I get into this for $300

Just posted on your FP.  Let me know if you want to go looking/shopping for one at the NEX.

jebus had offered up the same dealie many moons ago... what are the odds of finding something better for $300? I do reckon the selection will be better

Vizio is not a bad start. I got my Sony back in the day at Costco, so if you're a member, you might want to check them out as well.

the only sony they had were big... they had a 27" samsung that I cross-shopped to that vizio, but looking at 'em side by side, that 5" difference makes a big deal over the distance. although, I did like the samsung better.

I have a $200 GC for costco, which is why i was shopping there

Nice. My 32" works great for my room. I contantly hear people say "go bigger", but I sit so close that everything is within sight.

[teddy037.2]

yeah, for my purposes, bigger would just be... bigger... and I don't see the point.

if I can dig up the coin, I might be picking it up this week, as well as an HDMI cable for ye olde 360

[duccarlos]

HDMI cable is a must! I used the RCA cables for a long time until my brother convinced me to buy it. Night and day.

shiny 

although, if/when I do this, I guess I won't have any excuses to suck 

[duccarlos]

There's always an excuse to suck. I find myself getting killed 20+ times and then wondering what I was doing during the game. That's generally when I shut down the box.

[teddy037.2]

well, if I at least marginally improve, I suppose that's a good thing anyway.

I can't get much worse

First time I played CoD4, I did not kill anyone the first 5 games. I had been playing Halo for a while ans thought I could kill anyone. I quit for 5 months until my brother talked me back
