Consider what HDTV means - you can sit closer to the screen without loss of quality.

At 26", the height of the screen is around 12.75". The optimal viewing distance for a HD screen is around 3 - 4 times the screen height. Therefore, this means that I should be sat around 3 - 4 feet away to get the optimal peripheral vision and line definition for a 26" diagonal.

You asked me to read up on Google. Maybe I should ask you to re-read my post and see how close I sit. Maybe you should also read up on Google? The size of a TV you buy should be largely based on how close you are going to sit to it. Why would I want a huge 42" just a few feet away from me? Likewise, 23" is just that bit too small. Screen size is only relative to the environment you are in.
