I ordered ME2 but after looking around I noticed a few people complainign that the text size is even smaller and harder to read on sdtvs than the first. I played the first on my 17" SD without too many problems though it was tough, but this sounds like it might be impossible. Anyone else playing it on an sdtv and having problems? I might just sell it on ebay and pick up something else if it sounds too bad.

Yeah, it's small. I have good eyesight so I can manage most of the time, though.
 
The codex/description stuff is definitely worse than ME1, as are the various popups that occur when you get credits, heavy weapon ammo, etc.

If you've played Dead Rising on an SDTV, it is a bit more tolerable than that.

Text really doesn't matter unless you REALLY want to read the codex and even then, the major codex articles are voiced.
