- I bounce around ... taking my P3 from my bedroom to another room, to the living room ... 32", 40", & a 46" HD LCDs. Soon to get a 60" LED LCD Smart TV (Sharp) for new addition to house.
85% of the time, my bedroom's 32" Sharp Aquos 1080p HDTV.
PS: Even if the display is 5-years-old, it still looks better than many of the screens out on the market.

About 4' away on a 40". Still, I'm going to buy a 28-32" 1080P and mount one closer.
Well, maybe. I don't like GT6 as well, and GT5 online is going away.

How good is this working for you? I'm currently about 6 feet from a 65" and was thinking of getting a 27" high resolution monitor and mounting it about a foot or two behind my wheel. It is time to get my set up out of the middle of the living room. Unlike MC5372 above, I didn't believe my mom when she told me I'd go blind.

Ha! There's a couple things that are supposed to make you go blind, but ... uhhh ... nevermind.
6 ft? That's about where I am. Probably more like 7 ... from a 55".
I think everybody else is going for that "Imax experience".

Well, I usually measure things in metric scale, but I use Imperial measurements for screens, pizza and rims.
A Vivo 32" 1080p LCD... 10 feet away unfortunately, due to the layout of my room.

What's wrong with that?
I did about 2 feet from a 24".
Had a choice between a new wheel+a rig, or a bigger TV. I'm glad I picked the new wheel and seat
24" from a 24" . You're like IN the screen.

It works great. My room is 12ft. If I measured the angle and 27" right behind the wheel is the same as 75" on the far wall. Meke sure you get a 1080p.

I've a 19 inch, 4:3 aspect ratio TV. Looking to upgrade.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, but distance away is about five feet.

Suggested by 4 out of 5 dentists. I'm kidding ... I read it somewhere.
I actually measured earlier today and it's a little less than 3 ft (to the monitor). Of course, it's a desk and monitor ... not a Samsung 55".
P.S. Don't worry. I'm not very good at being sarcastic.

My problem with a smaller/closer screen will be my bifocals. Yes, I'm an old fart. I can see myself getting a pair of glasses just for racing. 
Don't worry MC5372 we're all having fun here. It's something to do between Seasonal Events.
What! There's a new one?! Gotta go...
Honey, can you watch that in the bedroom?
Oh, never mind. Its just Time Trials.

Most of the time I play on my 20 inch HDTV but some times I go on the main 46 inch TV. Both 1080p.

Thanks for the advice. I got a 27" HP Pavilion 27xi computer monitor from Costco. Full HD. It was cheaper and better resolution than HD TVs and other monitors. I would look at the picture from 24" and this was the only one that I couldn't see the pixels. At first the colors were off but after I figured out how to adjust the picture it is great. The adjustment was not very intuitive and there were no instructions included or online. Not being a TV, it didn't have a remote with a handy menu button. I also turned down the contrast and sharpness to make it look more natural. I have a piece of granite counter top on an IKEA adjustable desk base. It's solid as a rock, literally. Every one that comes by to play is amazed.
Has anyone gotten a OLED yet?
