I have a 40" flat screen in my sewing room and I use it very often when I am in there. When I'm not watching the TV, I'm listening to CBC radio via the internet. My home computer with a 24" screen is also in my sewing room, but I don't use it for watching movies or tv, I use the TV for that. Also have a Kindle and concurr with other posters that the screen is too small. I recommend going with the TV.
