Crystal clear quality and finally big enough to read the text! [:D][:D][:D][8D]

You should try it on something big, instead of that pathetic excuse for a TV you've pictured. Can't you show us the game on an 84" unit? That looks like it's merely 62". Pfft...[:-]

That looks really nice ... but do you have to be really close to read the text, or can you read comfortably from a reasonable distance of, say, about 10 feet?

Hey bigger is better![&o][8D] I am still using my 27 inch monitor. Try to catch our summer sale to get a 43 or 48 inch LED.

+1 - though I'm very likely refering to different networks.

@Anachro: You might be on to something. How big is that thing and what is your rough viewing distance?

On a new tv, the size is around 50-60 inches. I can sit about 12 feet away and can read most of the text and conduct all my stuff from the couch. That said, it can be a little straining on the eyes due to the map I'm using, which is a bit cluttered.

I bet if you could use a simplified map with very clear features and bigger text for place names (such as kamikaze bellum pacifica), it could be very nice.

True. I only use a 42 inch screen. Woe is me.

UGH! That land mass looks like a huge mass of rotting pork ... I'll stick with the stock map! [:D]
