When RBI came out, the 27" screen was king.  Now that screens have gone Cecil Fielder, what is the biggest you've played on?  I just got a 60" 4:3 TV a few weeks ago, so I'm going to try RBI tonight (yeah, I know, what the hell took me so long?).  I've never gone bigger than 32" before, so I'm looking forward to this quantum leap.

i've played on a video projector shot onto a screen:  12 ft measured diagonally like most traditional tv screens.

I just wiped my ass then smelled the toilet paper.  What's wrong with me?

the dude either has some high float or a mess between the cheeks.

A friend of mine's parents used to have a 60-inch TV. RBI was massive.

had a big one in my house growing up ... had to be about 48 or 56 inches.  Dunno why but i always felt like guys like Tony Armas and Kent Hrbek really did look fat on the big screen

What the hell is Tungsten and how the hell do you play RBI on it?

I normally play it on my 38" big screen (the biggest one they ever made with a normal picture tube and not projection, I've heard).

Though one time I was over at the house of the guy who started ValuJet (my dad had some kind of business to do with him). He had a nearly full-sized movie theater attached to his house, and yes, you could play video games on it, including RBI. Though I have to say the racing games were more fun, for some reason.

Sadly, I'll probably never return.

In college I "built" a projection TV with a couple of Fresnel lenses and a 19" TV, we played RBI and bomberman on the side of the apartment building next to us.  Must have been at least 20 feet wide.

My bro and Nick both have large HDTVs, around 50" & 56" - definitely a bit too large.   You can see every pixel...

I'm a big fan of the 27" RBI...

i feel like a pauper...the biggest TV i have ever played RBI on is the TV i have now, 27 inches.  We never had anything bigger growing up.

Like I said, I think the 27" TV is perfect anyway.  The big, widescreen HDTVs make everything too pixelated for my tastes.  Especially if you keep RBI in widescreen, it stretches everythingn out.  Some may disagree, but the standard tube is where it's at for RBI..

Yeah, having now experienced the supersized RBI, it is better at smaller sizes.  I thought it made the game easier to play for things such as tracking fly balls, but it took some of the poetry of motion away.  The game was jerkier and rougher, and while that may be good for some things, it made the RBI Experience less than it could be.  Long live the 27" TV!

I played on a 60+" last week and thoroughly enjoyed it. To that point, I think 29" was the best. It was also the first time I've played with surround sound.
