Darkspore – You won’t get cross-eyed or dizzy … lol. Think how big a screen is inside a movie theater. It is the pixel-effect you may need to think about. Hence the optimal viewing distance.

Hard to sell? No way. That TV is close to S$10,000. You can easily fetch S$5,000 if you want to in open market. That will fund your DSLR set easily.

Of course, you can always pass it to me had you win it. I promise I will cook you a nice …

ECL – Same here, whenever I tell that someone I meet in real life. I guess it is because the price is too good to be true?

I am not sure if I would want to sell it. My living room just about to have that 2.4 meters of optimal viewing distance. Another reason is perhaps people think that it is too big for their living room. Pfftt … what we see on a movie theater is a lot bigger. The only issue is the pixel-like image quality when we are sitting too close. And hence my research on the optimal viewing distance.

G – Hey, I actually miss the Vietnam version of popiah. The one with lots of fresh vegetables including mint leaves and be eaten with the fish sauce. Yummy. My uncle and aunt were used to make them while I was in Paris.

That TV is seriously incredibly humongous! I think I will either become cross-eyed or get dizzy trying to follow the action around the screen. Even if I win and want to sell it, I think I will have a little bit of problem there.

Looks like you had a lot of fun there! And I like the movie 200 Pounds Beauty too!

Wahhh!! You figured out the distance for a 60″ HD Plasma TV ah! You’re fast.

Until today, this afternoon at 4.50pm, I still have people come up to me asking,”You really giving the 60″ TV away?” *slaps my forehead*

Yes!! I’m giving it away! I don’t want my kids to be glued to the huge screen every day for hours!

And people are giving excuses that their houses are too small to accommodate this TV. OMG! Why can’t they win the TV and they can sell it and give the money to charity? Too square? probably. They are Singaporeans. haha…..

Go for it, man. You have 3 chances now.

Paddy – Lol … OK. Judging by my estimation, there will be tons of application forms to invalidate. I may need an extra pair of hands. How shall we split the TV ah? Can I keep that DVD?
