while thats true. its not a myth that sitting too close is bad. theres a reason an ideal distance sits. and trust me, im a medic and i deal with it too on a vastly more involved level than you.

I'm almost legally blind, trust me I won't have to sit very far back..

Me too, in fact I am legally blind. Thats one of the reasons I love WoW so much - the colors are vibrant - the fonts can be as big as you like - its fully customizable and while it can be fast paced - its not like a FPS/RTS where amazing hand/eye is required.

I use a Dell 27" @ 1920x1200 as my main screen and a Dell 24" @ 1920x1200 as my secondary screen.

I use Windows Magnifier to browse and read my screen normally but dont need any paticular accessiblity to play WoW due to my interface.

On the subject - I have a 52" Sony Bravia LCD in my lounge. Its probably a bit big for my lounge but we bought that so I could be comfortable sitting away from it a bit and still watch movies with the wife. I've tried WoW on it a few times and I find the fonts are readable and the game looks good but it seems every so slightly washed out versus a monitor. Wether this is because I am using an ATI card in that machine vs the Nvidia I have in this one could be a huge factor - I wouldn't really recommend it though.

I'd definetly do alot of reading about what you specifically want to use it for - the TV might look great in the shop but it might perform poorly when used as a gaming panel. Personally I'd still stick with a computer LCD.

if only I had the luxury of sitting at the recommended viewing distance

Damn sometimes I forget that fonts can be changed in size, guess I should go do that now...
