why bigger is better

Generally anything over 24" you lose pixels as you increase which results in less visual details.
Dell's 24" LCD is 1920x1200 while most top end 55" screens do 1366x768 or something similar.]
So in essence, viewing up close on Dell's 24" screen you view more detail and a larger scene than on a top end 55" screen.

It may come down to whether you want to do your computing from a desk or from the couch.

From the couch, it's a different kind of computing. Use a wireless keyboard and mouse. Flip to and from your various video sources like one or more game consoles, DVD player, or cable or satelite STB.

Or, do the Picture in a Picture with two or more video souces.

Of course, you can always put a high definition TV tuner inside the box, and run Windows Media Center Edition in wide screen.

Or, minimize the Windows Media Center window, and websurf with Windows XP, which is underneath.

It's a different kind of computing, as I said.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by BruxBox on 10/24/05 06:09 PM.</EM></FONT></P>
