Crystal clear quality and finally big enough to read the text!

Hey bigger is better! I am still using my 27 inch monitor. Try to catch our summer sale to get a 43 or 48 inch LED.

+1 - though I'm very likely refering to different networks.

@Anachro: You might be on to something. How big is that thing and what is your rough viewing distance?

On a new tv, the size is around 50-60 inches. I can sit about 12 feet away and can read most of the text and conduct all my stuff from the couch. That said, it can be a little straining on the eyes due to the map I'm using, which is a bit cluttered.

I bet if you could use a simplified map with very clear features and bigger text for place names (such as kamikaze bellum pacifica), it could be very nice.

UGH! That land mass looks like a huge mass of rotting pork ... I'll stick with the stock map!
