Ok. I admit it. I'm one of the guys that can't live without my HD TV and sound system etc.
Gardenwife, they have different types of mounts for the tv's. If you get one that can tilt, it makes it more comfortable to watch.
Jeannette, the size of your tv is more important when you are sitting close to it. You wouldn't want a 60" when you are sitting 4 feet away.
If you have the furniture pushed back, you can go as large you would like. My TV is about 10 or 12 feet from the sofa and it is a 52", and I think it is just about right.
Different types of TV's project the light differently. In a lot of rear projection TV's if you aren't sitting right in front of it the screen gets really dark and hard to see. In plasmas and lcds that isn't much of a problem, but it could be the resolution of the tv that is making the letters hard to see. - I haven't heard of that happening though. What kind of TV is it?
I don't have Direct TV, just regular cable, but there is a setting menu that lets me choose the background colors.
