Does a large 32" monitor / TV improve dot visibility..?

Samsung SyncMaster 305T 30" LCD Monitor

I love it. Once you get used to a 30" LCD monitor the TV's look like someone put a screen door in front of it (especially up close) because of the large dot pitch on TV's. You can get right up close to the screen on the syncmaster to pick out targets and the dot pitch is minute and barely viewable. That is why they cost more than TV's though. Mine cost $1200 IIRC vs $600 for a Sony 40 inch LCD TV.

I also have a 5' screen and high end DLP projector. While the scale is impressive and fun, I will trade the large scale for the quality of a 30" LCD computer monitor everytime. Size matters, but it isn't everything, especially if the cost is larger dot pitch. Others may find otherwise, but that is MHO.
