I just bought a 32" LCD TV and i know my MBP works fine with it, but I am considering buying a Macbook now. Will it be able to run on it as long as I buy the right adapters?

Resolution is the issue, not inches. Any TV should be fine. The MB can't handle the 30" PC monitors since they have much higher resolution. Everything else should be fine.

I've hooked mine up to my 32" LCD TV but the resolution on that is around 1366x768, like the user above said it's screen resolution and not inches that matter.

FYI the new Macbooks can output at 1920x1200
