HDTV requires that you sit 3 - 4 screen heights away from it. If that's what your room allows, then fine. However, in my gaming den, I sit about 3 - 4 feet away, which means 26" is pretty much the most I can get away with without it being too large.

People think size is everything when it comes to TVs. Actually, it is, but larger does not mean better.

I'm in the same situation as you Nomino. My gaming room is more like a cupboard and I only sit a few feet away from the TV. So I don't really need anything bigger than 26" to do the job. Plus the smaller TV's are quite a bit cheaper, around £500 in the U.K. compared to £900+ for anything above 32", so makes it a bit more acceptable when I suggest it to the wife
