[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 443179, member: 8"] It's the only way to watch your Twilight Zone episodes properly. Big screen is great for the (occasional) cinematic experience but I think it would be exhausting to have it as the standard format (and way too scary to watch The Exorcist when I'm being alone and vulnerable). Then you also have to consider eye comfort viewing distance. What's the point of going bigger and bigger if you need to move your seat further away to make the screen look less huge (assuming that you've got enough space to move your furniture about). I want to look at the characters but I don't want them to be giant and look back at me. Wait! That's a great idea for one of my wannabe-Twilight Zone stories. Picture it: a fictional character is watching a fictional soap. For the sake of narrative, let's say that person's name is "Ked". Ked watches his favourite soap-character sitting in her bedroom watching TV - intensely, in a long close-up. Strangely enough there's no sound, but then the camera pans to the fictional TV screen showing....."Ked" on his couch in his living room. Okay, so that's kinda similar to[I]The Purple Rose Of Cairo[/I] but we could also turn it into an epic Russian doll nightmare. The only way to end the nightmare is to blow up the TV station, Knots Landing style, but there must be enough plot twists to run a complete episode, maybe a movie!
