is the resolution better on a smaller lcd hdtv than it is on a larger one of the same kind and resolution?

Question

ok, i bought a 37 inch lcd hdtv from costco. thee brand is vizio.
i mostly use it as a computer monitor for my computer and a hdtv for my xbox. My question is that since this hdtv has 1366x789 or someethin like that for its resolution and the 32 inch version of the hdtv has the samee resolution, would the picture be better on the smaller lcd which by the way is also vizio than it is on the larger one? i am asking this because when i ws watching a movie on my computeer hookeed up to the 37 inch lcd it seemed kinda fuzy just a little bit though and when i used the key board to make the picture smaller it got much sharper. ps i am using a program to run the dvd through my computer thats why i was able to shrink the window.

thanks

If two screens have the same resolutions, say 1360x720, then at the same viewing distance the SMALLER screen will definitely look sharper since the pixels are smaller.
This is the same with printing. If you enlarge a picture, the smaller picture always looks sharper than the bigger.
However, the larger screen allows you to sit further away.
