The big screen in nice, but so is the furniture.

I think so, too. I have a rocker/lounger, but DH sits in one of those
all hard wood old-fashioned straight-back rockers (ethan allen style
probably) without any seat pad or back pad. He will watch a movie in
this
thing -- it's also a sight-for-sore eyes. He says it fits his style.
Knowing him for 38 years, I know what he means by that. :-)))

The TV's on the wall behind me as I sit at the desk at this, my primary,
computer. So for years I've had a small rectangular mirror that has
about the same aspect ratio as my television either velcroed to the
bezel of my monitor, or beside my monitor, for casually monitoring TV.
When something catches my ear or eye, I'll go watch; otherwise I
partially-watch there in the mirror. I've been doing this long enough
that reading screen titles and graphics backwards is second nature.
Given that acquired ability, the only thing that still looks "wrong"
(for a split second) is that whenever a batter hits the ball he runs to
third base. :)



I hope you have handy volume control on that TV -- sometimes it gets
pretty shrill.

The remote sits here on my desk.

The reason DH likes that stiff-backed rocker is that it is low to the
floor; that means it's not far to fall to/on his knees when someone
SCORES!!!!!

....or he falls asleep? :)
