I feel overwhelmed and a little dizzy when playing on my 50in sony on 1080i. I think I'm going to look to buy a smaller monitor tv or tv screen to play on. What do you guys recommend would be the best size to play on, I'm thinking a 1080p 19in should be ok?

I have a mini 15" tv next to my computer monitor. But if I want to play multiplayer or something, I move to my 55" in the living room.

19in is way to small for 1080P, there is no point, you wont really get the effects of 1080p unless your using a much bigger screen, like a 42 inch or bigger

just sit further away from the screen.

I use a 32" in 720p. its good for single player, but any split screening and it gets cramped.

my eyes already aint very good, very short sighted here.

so i need to sit close to see all the details. :)

i really dont like missing anything when i play COD3.

i do sit further from the tele with other games that i dont need to see such detail, like sports games etc.

but always with COD, close :)

Seriously all he has to do is move further away from it. When I'm home I play on a 50'' plasma usually in 720p but for some games 1080i. Unfortunately when I'm away at school I only have my 20'' 720p/1080i set.

You probably just need to sit further away from the screen. Same thing happened to me when I upgraded to my '40-inch. :)

I have a 55" tv in my living room and it's great. It all depends on how big your room is and how far away you sit from your tv. It sounds like your tv is a bit too large for your room.

I either play on the 32" 1080i/720p in my room or my 61" 1080p in my living room. I usually just play in my room so mom can watch Dancing With the Stars on the good TV.

Meh, I only have a 27" at 1080i and I'm just fine with that lol The only game that gave me a problem was that Simpsons demo. I do get motion sickness, and that was the first PS3 game in HD that botherd me.

I started playing my PS3 in a 13 inches TV, and literally have to stop playing some games because the targets were too small to see them until it was too late. :(

Then I moved to a 24'' TV and it feels like a world apart.

Planning on moving to a 42'' flat TV next month.
