Re: What size HDTV do I need?

This is what Amazon High-def 101 says as part of the discussion:
Quote:
Newer HDTV models support 1080p, but they may be more expensive than 720p or 1080i models. The advantages of the extra resolution you get with 1080p are most noticeable on screens 42 inches or larger. It allows you to sit closer than you could with a 720p set before you begin to see the individual pixels. On the other hand, HDTV programming (cable, over-the-air, satellite) maxes out at 1080i resolution. Still, if you anticipate using a high-def movie player or playing high-def video games, you may want to invest in a 1080p TV to have maximum flexibility with your system.
I think if you're room is not that big and/or you're not interested in 1080p --for example a second HDTV in your main bedroom for watching cable/news in the morning or before sleep-- then a screen size of 32 - 40" is just fine.
