Do you want *more* columns or less?
I have the reverse problem. I have a little 50" panel, can can't seem
to get the fonts small enough, or enough detail on the screen, even from
10ft. It actually looks pretty awkward.
We need a theme designed for large displays which doesn't assume all
fonts
are unreadably small or blurred.
Note also that HDMI on a plasma or LCD produces bright crisp fonts,
while
TV-out on a standard def TV produces blurred fonts with bleeding colors.
