I have to admit that my brain gets very dizzy when thinking about
resolutions/pixels/etc so please excuse if this question doesn't make sense

I believe we are now looking at resolutions and screen sizes much larger
that has been discussed so far.  LG have just come out with 47" and 55"
full 1080p HD TV with Google TV built into it.  You can run any of the
Andorid apps on it.  I guess this situation has been around for a while
with the separate Google TV set top box.

Does that affect any of the solutions being discussed?
